Unusual Ways to Hunt Squirrels

Now you have probably heard about hunting squirrels by sitting under an oak tree or hickory tree and waiting for the squirrels to come out to feed under the tree your sitting on.  That's a good strategy, but here are some pretty unusual strategies.

Stalking
When you spot a squirrel (probably from a good distances) you slowly walk up close to it and get a shot at it.  Don't walk when it looks in your direction or it will probably see you.  Keep an eye for other squirrels that could be around you that could alert other squirrels of your presence.  If you happen to get a closer shot at another squirrel while your following the squirrel you spotted, you can decide to take the shot at the squirrel closer to you or risk being spotted as you try to follow the other squirrel to get a shot at it.

Stand Hunting
This speaks for itself.  You get in a stand and hunt squirrels from there.

Blind Hunting
Now you are on the ground under some hickory or oak trees in a blind waiting for squirrels to come by.  If it's deer season and you have seen deer activity in that area you may even want to bring a deer rifle with you.

Tips

• You can also use a small caliber rifle (.177 cal or .22) is also good for hunting squirrels.  You can shoot at a greater range.
• Wear good camo and something that's blaze orange.

That's all for now!
