Mid Season Squirrel Hunting Tips
But the truth is that it's easier to say than doing it; thus basic hunting tactic here is the stealth. By midseason squirrels are more active at dawn and dusk; hence you must previously spot for an area with signs of squirrels activity and find a good cover at ground level and hide there
before squirrels become active, that way your presence will not be detected easily.
Remember about the keen sight of squirrels, they will be aware of every little change on the area as well of movement, hence find coverage behind a fallen tree or a rock pile; try to avoid sitting on top of blowdowns or stumps because squirrels will run away for sure.
Now the game name is "waiting". Success depends of how long the hunter may wait until the perfect moment for a shot. Sit calm ans wait still, don't be tempted to shoot as soon a squirrel appears, just give time to the animal to find a nut and begin to eat; once focused on its meal it will be easy to shoot it down.
