Squirrel hunting has always been a casual affair for me. Opposite of deer or turkey hunting. I always liked it because I could walk and talk and still have opportunities to bag some game meat. I've heard that squirrels that live amongst pine trees should be avoided as they taste like pine. I don't know that from experience though. I use a 20 gauge pump or single shot, but I've been thinking about trying with a 22. As has already been said, caution must be used as far as what is beyond the squirrel and where it is located. A stray 22 round will pose a bigger threat than some stray shot.
