[QUOTE="Trental, post: 508669, member: 33874"] I hunt squirrels pretty much the same way I hunt grouse in the woods. Slow stalk/walk while watching for any movements or sound. I've always used a .22 rifle, never tried a shotgun. For me personally squirrels and .22 long guns just go together like apple pie and ice cream. :) I've never used squirrel calls. For me squirrel hunting is all about getting out and just hunting around. A great form of just enjoying the views and sounds the forest has to offer. Some of my squirrel guns below. Sorry for all the photos. :D This is my first squirrel gun and I have owned it for over 30 years. Stevens 15a single-shot.
