I have come this ->.<- close to bringing my air rifle while deer hunting because those darn squirrels drive me nuts (no pun intended) and I won't waste an arrow on one. don't want to get in trouble for it though. I would only bring the air rifle as I don't want to make any more noise than that. Hope the law is cleared up for next year. For now I will just bear those squirrels barking back and forth.

You could just take some blunt tips for small game and bust them with your bow...Why would you need an air rifle?

That may fall into the field point category...maybe?

I am more accurate with a scoped air rifle, and I would definitely lose a lot of arrows shooting at squirrels that are 20 feet up in a tree

A slingshot might be ok but to be honest any movement/noise may ruin a chance at a deer.Thats the only reason i have stayed away from 1.

Bouncing ball bearings off squirrels is fun,noisy though.I can squirrel hunt after deer season is over,Talk about loud,slap a 1/2" ball bearing off a frozen branch & the noise travels forever lol

I disagree with this. I rarely hunt anything but deer, but we deer hunters do not have a monopoly on the woods. A small game hunter has the same safety obligation that we do, and there can be other people in the woods anytime, not just during deer season.

seems clear to me - if you have the resident small game hunt/fish, and your archery license, it shouldn't matter which one you choose to exercise.

But I'm thinking that because I think the resident small game hunt/fish covers the squirrel hunting.

Right?
