My favorite and so far most successful way to hunt squirrels and rabbits is to First, find a good food source such as trees bearing acorns (can't beat these as far as I am concerned), chesnunts, persimmons, various berries whether it be black berries or dew berries, etc., or even in the late season, pines with a few cones left. Generally speaking, I find most of this in river/creek bottoms and this is also where I find most of my rabbits as well as they tend to love the new year ferns that sprout in the early Spring.

Second, a good camoflauge is, in my mind an essential (don't forget to mind the local hunter orange regulations as well). Along with sitting still, however, no matter how long you can sit still, you won't kill anything if there isn't anything in that area, soooo don't be affraid to move around a little if you don't see anything for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

For the most part, hunting small game as well as anything else, is just about 90 percent perspiration and about 10 percent thought process. The absolute best thing to do is just get out there and before long you will get an idea of what works and what doesn't.

This may not be worth too much to you in your neck of the woods, but this what has worked for me down here in South Alabama and Georgia.
