After about three years of trad hunting I finally got my first squirrel. The past has been filled with near misses, close calls, and dodged arrows. I would probably have killed one by now if I did more actual squirrel hunting. I get most my shots while walking into a deer stand or out deer scouting. This afternoon was dedicated to squirrel hunting. The squirrel was shot with an easton Legacy and hex head. The bow is a 50# Kodiak Hunter. I did a thread on the bow some time back.

Awesome! I have lost some of my best arrows at squirrels while deer hunting! They are in no way easy game. Congrats!
You going to come to the Tradgang Iowa bunny hunt? I think it will be fun.

Congrats, I have shot hundreds of arrows at those critters, only hit one and he ran off with my arrow in him half way up a tree until the arrow finally fell out! Sure are tough!

Its pretty amazing how they duck/jump your arrow! That instant reflex must be due to the threat from above!

Way to go......

It took me longer to take a squirrel when I first started out than it did to take a deer. Not for lack of trying, just for lack of actually hitting one.

You have to consider that a trophy. They are tough to hit and sometimes even tougher to expire.

They are so small and hard to hit. A squirrel might be the ultimate bow hunting challenge. That is a real accomplishment.
