[QUOTE="Levee Jumper, post: 5363139, member: 16248"] It really depends on how tall the timber you are hunting is. In some of the big river bottoms in west Tennessee it's all a 12 gauge with a 30" barrel, full choke and a 1 1/4 of 5's/6's wants to knock a squirrel out of the top of a big pecan or hickory tree. When dealing with 6-20 grey squirrels in a tall tree, Its not fun being under gunned. However if you are in a woodlot in middle TN with short timber, a .410 would be plenty. [/QUOTE]
