I hunt a little thicket for deer.
It's got houses around and tons of squirrels.
Shotgun would be the choice if shooting from the ground up into the trees.
I think a .22 rifle, sitting in a stand shooting ones on the ground a better idea.
Yeah, if I'm hunting in a State forest with nothing but woods for miles around it's rifle time. If in a small farm woodlot with houses in every direction it's time for a shotgun or air rifle. I do have some damn good squirrel woods on farm land and I kill alot of squirrels there with a shotgun every year. Safe use of a rifle there would be very limited as to the shots you could take.
