My son shot a tree rat with a single barrel full choke .410 and knocked it clean off the branch it was perched on. It hit the ground, climbed right back up the same tree and we never saw it again.
Squirrels can be tough to kill. I knew a guy who had to take off his coat and beat it against a tree to subdue one that wasn't dead enough when he put it in his game bag.
