[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 417119, member: 26163"] [LEFT] 1. The first 2-3 hours after sunrise. [/LEFT] 2. I like to slip around very slowly often moving only from tree to tree and pause for just a minute before walking to the next tree. Only sit when I get tired of walkin or find a good stand of white oaks. 3. Leaning against a tree for a rest. 4. Never use a call. 5. Weather makes a huge difference IMHO. If its windy I will grab the 39A or speedmaster and hoof it pretty good through the woods covering alot of ground and shooting squirrels on the ground. Uncommonly cold mornings the squirrels may not move untill the sun hits the top of the trees and most of my time is spent scoping the tops of the taller trees for a patch of fur or a tail hanging off of a limb. Light rain doesn't seem to make a difference here. On overcast days I seem to see alot more squirrels on the ground around midday as well unlike blue-bird sky days when they seem to move in the morning and then poof dissapear till evening. 6. Depends on how much boot scoot they got going on:D If they are setting still they aint got a chance. 7. Doubt it, its just a savage heavy barrel 17hmr. [/QUOTE]
