Default SQUIRRRRELS!!!!

Im usually the kind of kid who bowhunts for squirrels, however, i got a ruger semi auto 10/22 .22 cal rifle for christmas. i tuned the iron sights shooting in my property and in michigan we have tons of squirrels. im ready to shoot one but i want to know how i would be most succesful for a show within about 20-30 yards. any strategy you know of, i would like to know about it. Thank you sooooo much.

If the leaves are dry, you will do best by finding a good spot in an oak or hickory grove and sitting down and waiting for them to come to you...It will take about 20 minutes after you sit for things to calm down and them to come out...

If you have wetter conditions, stalk slowly and scan the ground with binoculars ahead of you, when you see one, make a stalk...Listen for them barking as well and stalk in that direction...

Make sure you use a good rest and head shots only...Good Luck...
