Who's done it?
 
I know someone on here has taken a shot at that pesky red squirrel or chipmunk that won't shut-up.

As Arsenio would sayshow me the digits!

Heh, 2x years ago at Dan's place I had a gray that was in season, sitting at 10 yards just screaming at me. After half an hour of this, I decided if he was dumb enough to sit there and let me grab the bow and draw on him, he was getting a GoldTip to the dome.

I gotta say the rest of the evening was quite peaceful. [8D]

I would if those things weren't so damn chewy.

Pegged one to a stump, pretty funny because it took me three shots, then I had to get down and retrieve all my arrows, climbed back up and continued the hunt.

Many times!!!! I used to carry a .22LR revolver with me when hunting areas known to have wild dogs that were a little nasty, and several times I busted squirrels when the deer hunting wasn't going my way, and the squirrels were taunting me. I've also done it a few times with arrows, including one time when I took the little nut-muncher's tail off, only to have him fall from the tree DEAD as a doornail a few minutes later. Seems a squirrel CAN bleed to death from his tail if it's sharply cut off. :D

Were i hunt you could shoot more meat by shooting squirrels than by one deer. there seems to be thousands of the anoying things. and Racoons i can not stand listening to them eating corn it drives me crazy.

The first time I hunted with my new bow this past year lol. I sat in aground blind and began hearing chattering that would not shut up. Iturned around to see a squirell sitting on a log 10 yards away.

I was anxious to break in the new bow:)He was toast:D

No way am I wasting a 10 broadhead and a 20 dollar arrow ($30).

The only thing that see's my arrow from the stand when their seasons are open are grouse, ringnecks, coyotes, turkeys or deer.

I used to despise squirrels while bowhunting........that was until I realized that many times they were barking at approaching deer. ;)

Now the ones sitting in the tree across from me at eye level looking me in the eye while they bark for an hr...........I've tried killing them with foul language under my breath but I must not be a very good shot with it.:D

I have 15 years ago. I carried a small game head in my quiver for that purpose or grouse.

I learned that lesson too, but I forgot it this past weekend. I was scanning left, and one of those stupid tree rats started barking just to the right of me and I couldn't figure out how he had spotted me. While I was trying to spot him (I'm just racking up stupid stunts), four deer walked right across my shooting lane RIGHT UNDER where I was looking for him. I didnt see them until they were in the thick stuff on the other side.

Its funny how those little tree rats can rustle leaves and give you a near heart attack thinkin a deer is making the noise. Its even funnier (not) when that same squirrel has been rustling leaves for an hour and you start ignoring him just to realize that the squirrel isn't what's making the noise anymore, there really IS a deer right behind you... And I never did waste an arrow/broadhead on a squirrel.

I throw one or two old arrows with field points in the quiver just for that reason:)

Back in the day i use to do It all the time. They are good eating!! The Fox and Grey squirrels up here In Minnesota are huge!! The Reds don't have much meat on them but there good eating too.

I have a fear of putting one through a squirrel then looking left or right and seeing a white flag. So, I bring a pellet handgun. Pellets are one thousandth the price of one arrow/BH. Pellets are one thousandth the noise of a 22 handgun.

I shot a groundhog tonight before my doe....does that count?

Awesome footage of the deer reacting to the dead groundhog...pretty funny stuff.
