Squirrels- walk quietly or sit near oaks and other food sources and look for movement

Rabbits- easiest with snow for 22, track them by walking slowly and looking ahead under and around clumps of brush, stumps, any ground cover, youll learn

Can also get grouse this way too

as far as cleaning them the easiest way to do it is to grab the hide in the middle of the bach, cut a hole large enough for your middle and index finger from each hand and pull hide off in opposing directionscut head off with front hide, cut feet and tail off with rear hide. Next make shallow incision to open gut cavity abd remove all of them getting lungs, kidneys and heart too. Break pelvic bone by flexing thighs outward remove rest of guts. as far a cooking rabbit and squirrels quarter them soak in salt water. Fry with flour and season salt, pressure cooking them for a few minutes first helps too. Hope that helps some and good luck hunting.
