Hey having fun doing it is what it's all about. Skeet and Adam both know volumes more than I do about bird hunting on any given day of the week. Now squirrel? I dunno I would put myself up against almost any other squirrel hunter around. If only to get to hunt their honey hole to try to win the bet
I am a very old school shot-gunner. I like my old single shot 20 gauge H&R Topper with a fixed modified choke and a blue jeans pocket full of #6 field loads. If I come home with an old homemade denim squirrel bag full of bushy tails I am in heaven. If I come home and it's empty I am still in heaven. Know-what-I-mean? Thinking back Skeet's right for his advice as squirrel hunting goes to. I can talk about that bead all day long, don't ever remember seeing it before a chitter-demon went plop off a limb. Don't try to compete with them that don't ever miss. You'll just mess up yer own hunt and get frustrated. Instead pick out a favorite old gun, a favorite old hat, a favorite old dog, etc. Take the above out, have fun, bring 'em all back safe, and you'll never waste a day in the field. That ain't to say I don't ever cheat on my favorite old shotgun now and then, but you know how it is.
Richard

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
