Default I need help with squirrels!

This is a Parker question before it's a hunting question (as far as I'm concerned). I know there are a few of you out there that will admit to hunting bushytails. Our Missouri season opened at Memorial Day and we are in a spate of cool "morning-ed" days that make me long to carry a Parker in the squirrel woods. I'm interested in taking enough to populate a Brunswick Stew (that's Brunswick, Virginia, thank you very much!) -- without butterbeans, I might add.

Here's the question: What Parker would you carry? You can base your answer on your experiences (probably as a kid, no doubt, like me) or, if you're a real connoisseur, what your current experience suggests.

Gauge, barrel length, chokes (grade??)...?
