Dang, Mobo! This reminds me of the polish firing squad!

OK a few time when i have been hunting i have had squirrels come up 10 yards out and hang out

i thought about trying to shoot one with my bow to see if could

has anyone done this is it likely your hit one
In Ohio as long as they are in season...it's a legal kill. I personally have and continue to do this towards the end of my hunts. Have'nt seen too much else and the old bushy tail is bopping around on the floor about 20 yards...yeah I let him have a field tip. And of course I take him home skin him out and fry him up! 33 yards is my best squirrel shot with the bow.

My first bowkill was a squirrel too. We were walking in to our deer stands and my B-I-L had one run in front of him and up a fence post about10yards away. He pointed it out, and I loaded up one of my arrow with one of the rubber bludgen tips. Drew back and put a head shot on him, with a load of gear on my back. Those tips put a massive head trauma on them, loads of blood. We left it on a stump to pick up on the way out, but something had taken it, and it was definatly dead, so something ate for free.

I got my second bowkill at his house. He had some rabbits coming in on the edge of a corn field. I used a bludgen tip on his crossbow bolt. With a 30yard shot the tip put a hole in one and meat in the freezer.

Back in the 60's and 70's. I would go out a just hunting squirrel before deer season and rabbits after deer season. I went out a lots of times with my old 65 pound recurve bow and woodys with a 9/16 nut screwed on the end and have taken my limit of 6 squirrel in Iowa. We all get together after deer season and go out and drive rabbits. I have see times 4 to 10 of us go out and get 20 to 30 rabbits a day and had a ball.
