Hello all, new guy here and I've never been hunting but want to this year. I plan to start with squirrel hunting and have a few questions about small game hunting in Ohio and some about my gun as well. I'll make this easy for you guys so you can copy and paste the questions, and answer yes or no as you go down the list (answers can be more detailed than Just yes or no)
I just bought my first shotgun, an 18.5 Mossberg 500, and from what I've read you can hunt squirrel with this as long as you're using something between #4 and #6 shot. I would use my .22 but couldn't find ammo to save my life. So since you pretty much have a summary of my situation I'll start with the questions.
The Shotgun holds 6 rounds, am I able to use it as long as only 3 rounds are in the gun?
When hunting squirrel, what kind or permit do I need and do we tag squirrel?
I plan on getting a new barrel for the shotgun in the coming weeks, what length would you reccomend?
Can Rifled barrels shoot pellets? (Buckshot,Birdshot)
I know I have more questions I just can't think of them off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'll be asking more through out this thread. Also any extra info you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I also posted this in the hunting 101 section. Just trying to get as much help as possible
