I only hunt squirrels for the pot, but I find them equally tasty at all times of the year. December is my favorite time to hunt them because they are so active in the Squirrel Rut, such that it is. I shot a limit once with a .54 flintlock without moving from one spot one year.

The Winchester Lowwall is the Queen of all singleshot .22s. The one above is completely custom, inside and out. It is a fine 200 yd benchrest rifle, when required, but it makes a perfect squirrel rifle too.

An old #3 Ballard is right fine as a squirrel rifle also, but lacks a few refinements of the Winchester. Still, it gets the job done. These 4 were shot without moving my feet even the slightest amount.
