#Tuesday #Hunting #Tips from the #Pros Today’s tips are on #Squirrel hunting and comes to us from Mike Westmoreland TIP #1: Draw your gun and brace yourself facing in the general direction of the potential target. Vigorously rub two quarters together to generate a sound similar to their cutting noise. This can be achieved by simply scrapping 2 quarters together (one ribbed edge across the other ribbed edge). Squirrels are often very territorial and may expose themselves to see whats going on in their territory. Extra Tip: Consider utilizing the quarter trick even after shooting and missing. If you know the squirrel is nearby but hiding in a hole or on the backside of the tree. Sit and wait a couple of minutes and rub the quarters together. You just might be surprised how often theyll emerge from hiding to investigate. TIP #2: Sometimes, if you spook a squirrel, it will get on the backside of the tree and flatten against the trunk becoming virtually invisible to you. One technique to remedy this problem is to take up a position where you can take a shot promptly and toss a stick or large rock to the other side of the tree. Often, the squirrel thinks you have moved around to that side of tree and will try to move and hide on the side that you are actually on letting you take your shot. TIP #3: Sometimes the most effective way to find plentiful squirrels is to go to where people commonly hunt for deer. The reason behind this is, if youre hunting on property that is also used for deer hunting, people often put out feeders for the deer and squirrels see this as an easy food source and are often in the area in good numbers.
