Wait Or Shoot

[Mike Belt]

I have 2 philosophies on squirrel hunting. I was wondering how most people here hunt them. If I know where the squirrels are going to be first thing in the morning I beat them there and wait on them to show. If I'm not antsy to move I wait for several to get there and start feeding before I take my first shot. Makes for some fast fun shooting. If I want to stay mobile I'll shoot the first squirrel to show and then head to my next tree eventually making the circuit back to that tree. This way I don't have to sit there waiting on another squirrel to show after the first shot.

I squirrel hunt both of those ways also. I'm usually to impatient to wait for more to arrive, but will occasionally if I'm hunting a small area. I love to get under a tree with a bunch of squirrels in it. The most I've ever killed at one time out of a single tree is 7.
