RE: First-time squirrel hunters
One additional comment on calls .... I have tried several and never found them to work for me! I can call in turkeys and even called in an elk once, but can only manage to scare off squirrels! I hunt unpressured land and find if I sit quietly they will show up soon enough. If not, I slowly move another 50 yards in the timber and stop again. It's a blast, so enjoy it!
