I'm going to be spreading a Saturday in a few week trying to thin out the squirrels where I deer hunt at. At the moment I'm torn between taking the .22 or 12 ga. There was 10-15 squirrels on my corn pile during deer season that would just sit still eating corn all day and that would be a perfect for the .22 but I ain't put out corn since early November. So I'm thinking now the squirrels will be spread out more over the since the corn is gone and I will have to walk more to look for them. Now without the corn pile to keep them still but instead I figure they will be running around so a 12 ga would be better. What do you think?
