I'm with you young gun, but I really like my longbow, Colt .22 Revolver, or my Old Savage .20...but its nice to limit out with the 11-87 now and then...

Early season my 12 or 20 gauge. Later in the season my 10/22. I am plannin on getting a single shot NEF 16 gauge soon and that will be my new squirrel shotgun. I will let my girlfriend use my .410 or 20 gauge. I have also shot them with a bow, that is very fun and interesting.

I use a .22LR Marlin 880. Not the most accurate but can get off a head shot at 50 yards.
I used to use a Mossberg 500 12 guage to hunt. Didn't like it that much. I'm thinking of
buying a .17 HMR for this comming season.
