Marlin 60 with a 4.5-15x40 Meuller, I usually hunt with 4-8X depending on conditions.

My favorite is my Marlin Mod 60 with a 3x9x40 Simmons scope. Haven't got too many cause I don't seem to get out to hunt as much as I'd like. I've also carried my single six while Deer hunting. Cause those tree rats seem to know you've got slugs in the shotgun and will just sit there and laugh at you, so when they do that out comes the single six to shut them up if they are close enough, and Mr. buck dosen't seem to be anywhere around!
that sir, is gods honest truth, thats goes along with, if you want to get a monster buck within gun range go bow hunting, and if you never want to see that buck again, hunt that same stand during firearms season.

This is my first year using a 22 but I know for a fact that a 20gauge with #6 shot gets the job done nicely as long as they are not closer than 10 yards. Also a bow and arrow do a good job if you are in a tree stand shooting down.( they get pinned that way lol)

OMG, sooo true! Last deer season we had them crawling in our laps. This fall decided to thin them out before deer season, they are playing special ops behind the leaves!!
yup, teriyaki style!
i can haz recipe?
That's too funny. Dad and I just went squirrel hunting this afternoon and I said "You know how we could be seeing a ton of squirrels right now? If we were deer hunting."
Ruger 10/22 heavy barrel with Bushnell trophy 6-18 & CCI SGB or a Contender with 16" 17HMR barrel with Leupold 4-12 Vari X II - Hornady 15gr (head shots only). With either outfit any squirrels within 100 yards are in peril.
My wife bakes the tree rats in apple cider - great table fare!

When I'm not up a tree acting like a nut, I use my Marlin Model 60 with iron sites (I miss more that way) and when that gets too irritating and I am hungry for squirrel, I use a 60-70 year old single shot .410 that belonged to my Grandpa. I have a .410 pump but this old single shot seems to kill more squirrels.
