Squirrel hunting methods

Still-hunting

Walk slowly through the woods, stop often and watch for movement in the treetops.

Stand hunting

Sit near a nut tree that squirrels are cutting and wait.

Squirrel dogs

Treeing dogs find squirrels and bark until the hunter arrives. Hunting with dogs has grown in popularity.

A great first hunt

Squirrel hunting does not require total silence or stillness, making it a great hunt for new and young hunters.
