I grew up hunting Squirrels in Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois. Still chasing them here in Kansas. I get way more chances at squirels on an average day of deer hunting  then I ever do on deer.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

I've yet to nab one. I've only taken shots at 2 while deer hunting.

I always think there will be a better shot so I hold off and end up losing them in the trees.

Pretty much all I hunt right for, too much fun. I've seen broadheads bounce off of them at close range and they will pretty much laugh if you hit them with a flu-flu and a blunt, tough as nails!

I gave up on judos too. I now use BH's or steel blunts on a 125 grain adapter. As soon as I can get some cash I'd like to try those Talons from Redfeather Archery
Just one more step please!

My favorite hunt.  Great challenge and just a blast, besides they make a great camp stew.

I shot one with a judo from 10 yards.  The squirrel threw the arrow back at me and ran off!  I think I will use old broadheads from now on!

Thanks Longbow Jake
She's a Boykin Spaniel.  Pretty much an all around dog.  I have been using Boykins for squirrel hunting for quite a few years.  They are really a good companion.

Well here is my squirrel video!  I consider myself a small game expert, finished this video in record time this year, only hunted them for about 2 weeks and got this whole video!  So enjoy!

Hmm, that is odd, I swear by judos, what poundage bow are you guys having problems with???  Out of my 55# curve I have never had a problem!  And I have shot probably5 or so squirrels, most up in trees with flu flu's and judos!

I used my 61#, and my 58# with broadheads, small game heads. They are tough! Just look at the bloodtrail after I shot this one with a Zephyr Sasquatch..He was still kicking after I got up to him 15 minutes later! Unless you hit them in the head, they will put up a good fight!!   :readit:
