Anyone excited for the early squirrel season? If you hunt this season, what means of taking squirrels do you use? I hunt almost exclusively with muzzleloaders, and in the early squirrel season I generally use either my 15 gauge or 20 gauge BP shotgun due to the heavy leaf cover. Once the leaves start dropping I switch to a .32 caliber flint lock for taking squirrels out to 50 yards. When all the leaves have dropped, I switch to a .36 caliber flint lock as the shots are generally longer and the squirrels are more skittish.
