I am also new to squirrel hunting (only deer hunted). In your opinion, Is it possible to squirrel hunt with a 12g or is it just to much?

Its fine. I used 12g for over a decade but carrying 50rds of 1.125 oz and a 8# gun up the holler/down the holler would wear me out. My 28g is 3# less and 50 rounds of 28g is 1# less than 50 of 12g. Not to mention lower recoil and fewer pellets to pick out of the squirrel

I hadn’t thought about the weight difference. That all makes sense. Thanks for the insight!
