Blackheart, that is what my pals told me from W. Va. They had some huge timber in the country at that time.. The model 12 12 ga. and Model 31 12 ga. full choke 30" barrels were the "squirrel guns" of that area.. Even then, my friend said in some of the tallest trees squirrles would just "twist" their tails when shot at with a shotgun I just described.. He and his friends shifted to .22 rifles for this reason..
