I use to hunt squirrels, birds, etc. when I was a kid and sadly enough never thought about anything other than hitting what I was aiming at. The state is offering a "free" hunting day and I am planning on taking my boy (6 yrs old) squirrel hunting for the first time. The only hunting I have done the last several years was for deer and figure now is as good a time as any to go back to where it all started. This time around we WILL be using the meat and placing it in the freezer. The only legal place to hunt that is close enough to run out to after school is a "shotgun only" management area.

Only suitable shotgun I can use is a 20GA which I have some #6 shells for. Here is my question...How big a problem will the shot be to remove? Is this easy enough once the squirrel is skinned or will we be spitting shot back onto the dinner plates? Never run into this before since I didn't keep the meat when I was young and don't know what to expect since I cannot use a .22. Thanks for any advice.
