i hunted with my recurve real hard trying to get one this year. it didn't happen. i came really close a few times, but sights and a faster bow would be nice. just remember if they are lookin at you, they do jump the string, and god only knows where they are goin. on opening day i saw 22 squirrels, but some kid went in with a shotgun and shot everything that moved. now they are really smart. Alittle more challenge never scares me though.
