Anyway which round is best for squirrels .22 .22 LR or .22 mag. I believe the Speedmaster can shoot all of them.
Also can anyone explain the tube magazine on the Speedmaster I never saw anything like it until I started looking at the rifle. Seems like it could hold a lot of rounds. How does it work exactly?
I noticed the season is about 5 months during the winter. What do you guys wear when going? Any camo, orange or just some long johns and jeans? Do you just trudge through the snow or sit down in a spot for awhile?
I will be hunting around Green Bay and also around Lakewood in Oconto county Wisconsin. Anyone know of any spots to hunt around that area?
How many squirrels are needed to have a meal/snack?
Thanks for the answers/tips guys!
well 4 squrells make about a meal if you have a salad on the side..when i hunt'em i dont really wear cammo maybe a cammo jacket.just wear natural colors brown grey black.ect as for the long jons YES MOST DEFFINTLEY WEAR THEM.there are 2 great way to shoot squirell 1.still hunting.walk a few steps wiat 20-30 seconds.i find this a productive method on a nice day with the sun out.2.siting in one spot witch is also a good method as long as you sure there are squirell in the area cause if they arent your just gonna waste your time..hope this helps..ps DONT SHOOT MAGS OUT OF THAT RIFLE
