Squirrel hunting tips


If you are a squirrel hunter like me then it’s good to know these tips.

If you are walking while squirrel hunting then keep your eyes and ears peeled but many times it is better to find a nice big oak and still hunt for a while. Let them come to you.
Watch for movement in the trees; also watch for that little tail wiggling around. If you see one keep your eye on him and don't lose him. Keep track of him as long as you can and listen for barking in the trees. When you finally find which tree it is in then do your best to get right under the branch the squirrel is on.
If a squirrel sees you while it is in the tree then it is going to run to the other side and do everything it can to make sure that the tree stays in between you and itself. That is why it is good to have another person with you. That way you can trap it. But if you do happen to be alone, throw a stick or rock to the other side, the squirrel will run back to your side allowing you to take the shot. The same rule applies to when you are walking down a road and aren't hearing anything, throw a stick into the woods and if there is a squirrel on the ground it will run up a tree and start barking.
I hope these tips are useful. Squirrel hunting is a great way to start out for young hunters and even adult hunters get into it.
