RE: shooting a squirrel with a bow

I shot acouple partridge out of my stand with the judo. Never had a squirrel aggravate me enough. I'm just as happy with a partridge as a deer.

RE: shooting a squirrel with a bow

I am very careful when I allow myself a shot at a squirrel so as to not spook deer but I have taken a few. my average is right around 50% which i think is great. I am 0-1 this year though, I was a half inch high and bounced it off the top of his head[

RE: shooting a squirrel with a bow

I'm surprised some people have never tried it! I shoot at them all the time.

I have found that they make great range finders!I like to take a shot on one now and again, just to reassure me that my bow is still on and my ranges are in check. WhenI just barely miss one I just smile to myself knowing that if it were a deer I'd still be in the kill zone.

I've thought about it 4,519,632,597 times, but never flung an arrow at one. The one the other day that ran back and forth across the tree limb above me was lucky he didnt' get it. He was dumping snow and water on my head and down my neck all day.
