I suppose it could be done. However, until you engage in squirrel hunting with a .32 patch and ball, you will never understand how awesome, peaceful and satisfying it truly is. I've lived and hunted many different critters, including big game, all over the country with different critter getting tools. Not one of them can come close to hunting squirrels in the mountains with my Crockett squirrel rifle. In fact, stopped squirrel hunting years ago and did not resume until I got my Crockett. It is now, beyond a shadow of doubt, the most rewarding hunting I have ever done. A real test of hunting skills, marksmanship and patience, with a tad of luck thrown into the mix.
Good luck to you whatever you decide on.
