How to squirrel hunt

Deerhunter 21,
 A bleach bath also works pretty good on Chiggers given it's done soon enough after you get home. Put enough bleach to where it feels really slick, for example 1/2 cup bleach per bath. Kind of hard to say since everyones bath water fill is different but where it feels good and slick.
Two notes here.
1: It's not real good for your skin but I've never had any problems with it just keep it out of your eyes.
2: Lots of modern bath tubs and showers are acrylic or something and you cannot use bleach in them. You'll get in serious trouble if you ruin the bath tub. I just mix some in a bucket and head out back behind the barn.
Any of it better than itching for a week or so.

You can get Permanone(Permethrin)spray at Wal Mart. You spray your cloths, hang them out to dry and you are ready to go.There is no lingering odor either. Any insect that touches your cloths is dead. Works well for ticks, chiggers, skeeters and gnats.
 Chiggers burrow into your skin and secrete something that causes the itching. The more you scratch the more they itch. Coating each bite with clear fingernail polish helps prevent scratching and lessens the itching.

Back to squirrels instead of bugs for a moment… I finally got a squirrel…. Find a tree where there’s tons of acorns or hickory all eaten up around it, and then listen and sit eventually you’ll hear bits it husk falling from the trees, look at the leaves of smaller trees or branches and you’ll see where the husks are falling right about that’s the squirrel (obviously) then if there’s not a obvious good shot just wait 10 yards from the tree, eventually he’ll come down  ;)

Or atleast that worked great for me at this time of year
