Default Thinking Of Squirrel Hunting

My dad has a Remington 552 Speedmaster which I am thinking of using to try to squirrel hunt her in Wisconsin. I am going to buy a Tasco Pronghorn or Simmons .22 mag scope for it as the current one must be broken as I can't see a thing out of it.

Anyway which round is best for squirrels .22 .22 LR or .22 mag. I believe the Speedmaster can shoot all of them.

Also can anyone explain the tube magazine on the Speedmaster I never saw anything like it until I started looking at the rifle. Seems like it could hold a lot of rounds. How does it work exactly?

I noticed the season is about 5 months during the winter. What do you guys wear when going? Any camo, orange or just some long johns and jeans? Do you just trudge through the snow or sit down in a spot for awhile?

I will be hunting around Green Bay and also around Lakewood in Oconto county Wisconsin. Anyone know of any spots to hunt around that area?

How many squirrels are needed to have a meal/snack?

Thanks for the answers/tips guys!
