RE: Bowhunting squirrel
ragin,
I hunt rocky mountain ground squirrells more than their treed cousins but have shot quite a few out of trees as well. I am not sure what type of equipment you are shooting to suggest the best heads. Here is what I find out of my Trykon and Axis ST arrows. Field points will pass right through making arrow retrieval sometimes impossible...had them stick into trees 20ft in the air. Same experience with broadheads although this is the fastest way to kill them. I tried plastic blunts but found they were not as accurate as I would like. We have to shoot 30yrds+ for the ground squirrells and the blunts just didn't do it. Plus the blunts tended to skip like a field point and go forever. The best I have found for small game (squirrells, rabbits, etc) has been the judo point. It makes quite a hole, induces great shock and is very easy to find after. PM me if you would like some pictures.
