How to squirrel hunt

<< < (4/7) > >>

bentstick54:
Shot lots of squirrels that way. Both with bow and .22s

JW_Halverson:
Another time tested trick for hunting squirrels is to "call them in".

It's easy enough to do. Just limb a tree and act like a nut.

No dice, not even a single squirrel, rabbit and barely even a bird! Man… I did learn how inaccurate my .22 can be. That bullet drops fast. I also suck at sighting it in… (gonna need to work on that) man, bows are so much easier to shoot than guns!!! I already know what the arrow drop will be like and I can even see my arrow and adjust if I miss… it’s easy to use something I understand, and it’s easy to understand something I made.

I’m gonna try a different place on public land with lots of oak. Hopefully I’ll get something there.

Ok JW… that one got me real good!  ;D

I usually don't shoot at them much in the tree if I am hunting with my bow, I look for where they are cutting nuts and then just set up and wait for them to get on the ground to gather up the goodies they cut  ;) and yep DH21 I ant much of a gun guy either, don't like the noise and have just never shot one a lot, fill much better with a bow in my hand. :) No problem with guns  or folks that use them,it just ant for me. :)

BowEd:
Yes Deerhunter after using a bow and arrow for hunting,hunting with a gun seems to me to be the easy way out and not as satisfying as with the bow and arrow.Especially all being made yourself.
Everybody invests a lot of time hunting before success is achieved.It's just the way it's always been.Keep trying.Things will come around.
