Interesting thread. Sorry I can't send any, but I shoot them, too.
I started out at age 8 shooting squirrels with a shotgun and selling them out of my Dad's country store for twenty-five cents apiece. When Dad learned I was selling them he made me start paying him for my shells. They were 3" .410, number 6s, and cost me twenty-four cents apiece. If I had to shoot a squirrel twice, or missed, I was in the hole.
When I got old enough that they would turn me loose with a .22 rifle I never used a shotgun for squirrels again, to this day. A .22 cartridge only cost me a few cents apiece ........ it was like I had hit the lottery. Head shooting squirrels with a .22 is great fun, and leaves no shot in the meat. Please don' take this as a "diss" on shotguns for squirrels. Not meant to be in any way.
