What can you reasonable hunt with a 12 gauge shotgun?

I was kinda looking for a list of animals you can hunt regardless of shot size or slugs used. Can I shot a squirrel? Will it explode no matter what size shot I use?
Yeah I’ll probably just use my 20 gauge for squirrel. I think I have #8 shot.

Deer, hogs, all small game, bobcat, cougar, cow (not much sport but lots of meat). Basically most animals under 300 lbs can be successfully hunted. Larger game could be taken down but you would need accuracy which means being too close to a bear or moose for me.
