Hey Guys,

I live in a county where I am not allowed to shoot any rifle larger than a .22 (and it has to be bolt action)

I currently already own a 12 gauge shotgun for turkey hunting, but was looking to get something for squirrels in the area as we have tons. I noticed during archery season that I have quit a few fox running around the property and was wonder if I should take my 12 gauge out after them, or if a well placed shot at about 30 yards with the .22lr be good enough? I would want to get the hide tanned so I am not wanting to cause to much damage to them. I also do not want to injure and animal because I took out the wrong type of weapon. I am just afraid the 12 gauge would be to much.
