How to squirrel hunt
Russ:
Ive probably asked this before.... but i wanna go squirrel hunting tomorrow or after school monday. Im gonna bring my bow and my .22. Any tips? I want to go squirrel hunting because i dont think i could take a more serious hunt atm like coyote or something. Schools stressing me out too much for me to want to do deep and thorough scouting, or planning. I just wanna go out in nature, de-stress, and hunt.
so... how do you tackle squirrel hunting, rifle or bow?

1. Find a squirrel.
2. If it's a tree squirrel, use extremely bright flu-flu arrows so you'll be able to find them.
3. If it's a rock squirrel, use arrows you don't really care about all that much.
4. Make sure you won't hit anything important if you miss.
5. Let 'er rip!
I guess that isn't too helpful, but it's all I've got. ;D I can say these are all from personal experience.

Move quietly, a dog will help, find a nut tree, or oak. Shoot straight, if you use the rifle, make sure it is a safe shot! Listen to their chittering, and imitate (it also helps to be able to make noises like a nut, or acorn >:D (lol)!) (lol) (lol) They also like apples and other fruits. Post pic!

Here's one way for you Deerhunter with bow and arrow.Squirrels are territorial.Find where you know squirrels are.Set up a make shift ground blind.Take a small teddy bear with you when you want to hunt.
Set teddy bear on ground or a stump out there within range of your capability and wait.Be patient.Squirrels will come out to investigate what that teddy bear is doing in their territory.It works.
I've shot em off my bird feeder and using the teddy bear method using rubber blunts.
