Default RE: Squirrel Hunting Tips

(I read that if you tap two quarters together it acts as a call - any truth to this?)
I have never heard of tapping two guarters - not saying it won't work

I just never heard of it.

One thing to look for is signs of squirrels.

Look on fallen trees or tree stumps
or any thing sticking out of the ground above a couple of feet.

Look for acorn shells that have been eaten or any thing like peacons or nuts that look
Like they were eaten by squirrels.

Squirrels have a small attention span so,

Walking in the woods and just sitting about 5 to 10 minets at a time will usely do the trick.

I carry a small camoed stool its light and you don't get your tail wet.
You can get squirrel calls that make other squirrels give away there location.
Carry some small rocks in your pocket if a squirrel gos around a tree on the other side
You just throw a rock on the side it is on and it will come around to where you are.
The rock hitting the ground tricks it into thinking you are on the side it is on and it is trying to get away from you.

You can get squirrel calls and stools at Wal-Mart pretty cheap.

Also listion you will hear them in the distance some times.

And wear camo it helps to, check wih your regulations some places require you to wear hunter orange when hunting squirrels, Its that way in NC.

Well any ways Good Luck And Be Safe Always Hunt Safe.
Always tell some one where you will be hunting or leave a note telling where you are hunting
so if you arent back at night time they will know where you are.
Any thing could happen you could get lost or hurt.
Carring a cell phone is good to do also, if you are hurt you can get help.

And Again Good Luck.
