How do people hunt squirrels?

Just depends on the area... I mostly walk around but if I come to an area that looks good, I'll sit in that area for awhile

Vine shaking for the win

Find feed, sit and wait. Shoot one walk a little further and repeat process 8 times. Pretty simple actually.

I drive around my neighborhood and wait for them to run in front of my car. I usually get 2 or 3 every day.

those are fenced in subdivision squirrels, that's like hunting a neighbors dog. I'm talking like wild uncivilized squirrels you know.

I walk around real slow right when the sun comes up. Just keep looking up and find where they are. Sneak closer and bust their arse.


If I know where a bunch are (usually find these areas during deer season), I'll sit in one spot for 30 min or so and wait them out.

I was going to bring this up the other day since there have been a ton of threads about squirrel dogs.

I've always creeped down a 3-wheeler trail for squirrels. Usually kill a limit. If I get spotted, they'll usually crawl in a hole or knot and will wait me out.

What are the advantages of hunting them with dogs? Do they just sit on a branch waiting for you to blast them, or do they immediately get in a hole when they're treed?

410 single shot is my favorite

use a 22 also, good target practice getting ready for deer season.
