What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

I always use a .22 LR. My first time out as a kid - .410, but graduated up to using sights rather quickly.

Also, If I end up buying a .223 for coyotes, and I have now luck on a hunt, I would probably try to go home with at least a squirrel. I guess I better make sure it's a head shot with that .223, eh?

.410 when the leaves are on...22 S&W Pistol w/ 4X scope when the leaves are off. I now have a 17HMR that I'm going to use a little this fall.

In the past i have used .22, shotgun (12 and 20), pellet gun, Glock 40.

I been trying with bow but out here its just too hard to get close because the land is all open and too easy for them to spot me before i get close. I am hoping when i go camping i'll be able to get one with a bow. Its a challenge but really fun.

12 bore what is that

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

22LR with a 4X scope is my favorite way to hunt squirrels---but I also enjoy my 20 gauge.

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

i like my ruger super six .22 with a 4x. alot of fun to shoot.:)

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

The good ol' 12 ga with full choke and 6 shot gets the job done for me. It's not too easy since you don't have a long range. But, it is better for the running shots and a 22 just isn't enough to get me excited.

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

77/17 10/22 ruger stainless 300 ultra mag if I am in the mood:)

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

mostly .22 but if i get desperate... i get my 410... if that dont work... i call the air force and ask for an air strike

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

22lr, the day i got my .308 i shot a squirrel with it, well i missed it fell out of the tree and i stomped it

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?

;) Hi, I hunt Graysquirrells here in Vermont during Sept. and December. I use a 10-22 Ruger semi w/40 Grain Hollow Point Long Rifle bullets.I have a 4 pwr. Bushnell scope mounted on the rifle. It is a very effective squirrell gun for me. I hope this helps you!

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

i have always used the .22 for squirrels. most recently, a marlin model 39a.the .22 long rifle hp in the head being the ticket.however, i just got a rem 597 .17 hmr and plan to try it next fall.any hits with this little gun other than the head means a bad shot.it is a very fast and flat shooter.maybe even an overkill,but i really like it because we have a lot of armadillos and the .17 really is the medicine for them while squirrel hunting.

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

I also use a 22 and my 410 occasionally. What size shells do u guys use in your 410? i normally just use 2 1/2 inch 7 /2 shot i have also used 3 inch 4 shot. What size do u guys feel is the best?

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

Any shotgun or air rifle when ever possible!!! i enjoy chasing them along the ground because the ones in my area of Britain are really stupid and dont seem to like trees that much! Better for me though!

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

O.k..O.k....I know you all probably won't beleive me but just try ok? When I was 16 or so I saw one out my bedroom window, weel I had my slingshot on my desk so I grabbed it. I didn't have any rocks in my room..duh...so I got in my tackle box and grabbed a no.4 fishing weight...a football shaped one...seriuosly I shot that thing fair and sqaure, right of the fence. Beleive it or not.

westurk, I've done the same thing only with .45 lead muzzleloader balls. I've also killed rabbits with the same thing.

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

17 caliber

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

I use my Ruger 22/45 with iron sights. Never seemed to need much more around here. If you sit still enough for 10 minutes you can knock over 1 or 2 under the same tree. Rarely a shot more than 20 yards.

I do want to try some Colibri ammo to try to get more than one or two without scaring the others away. Think it has the penetration power needed?

I usually use a Remington 870 express 12 ga. This way I can get the ones running through the trees or across the ground. Sometimes I take the .22, that's when I feel like I have to practice a little for deer season. Seeing and stalking squirrels is great practice for when it comes to deer.

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

I prefer to use a 22lr, but while I was stationed at Ft knox, I had 2 use a shotgun on post, so out came my grandpas old Model 12 16 gauge. had lots of luck with it, and now I know why they call the Model 12 one of the sweetest handling shotguns...

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

I like using my new Remington 597 .22 It does the job for me.

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

I use a my .22 LR for squirrles, but i use my benelli nova also

RE: What gun do you squirrel-hunt with?
 

i've allways used a 22' LR with a 4X scope for my squirrel hunts and that works the best for me.

I used to use a pellet gun,but if you don't drop'em in the first shot it's hard to reload in time to kill it.

my friends use 410's to get them



there's a fine line between hunting,and just sitting there looking confused
