Hunt where there are squirrels!#1

#2 Your bow better be extra quiet them little buggers can sure move quick!

#3 Use judos on the ground and rubber blunts for on the side of trees and shots in trees shooting up!

~HF~

#1 motionless,#2 use broadheads for 35-40# and under and my opinion a nice .38 cal casing for a blunt.

I gave up on rubber blunts and flu flu's. To many unrecovered hits with blunts. and I they dodge flu flu's, they must sound like a hawk!

[b44mag]

not glad too hear that adeeden. i just got 4 wood arrows with spiral flu flus and 357's with rubber blunts ready for squirreling. this years my 1st season with a long and recurve bow. hope i sneak one in on them tree rats
my tip is
be very very quiet
safe hunting to you n yours

pretend you're nuts.  And if you are, even better

hunt them when the snow is deep and soft....they will hang onto the side of trees and try to figure out why they sink into the "white ground"...last year after a 14" over night snow, I killed nine in about four hours..... (must have missed 15 also)......

I agree with adeeden about the flu flus.  My tip would be not hunt the mature thick timber where you probably rifle hunt.  Young scattered timber has fewer hollows and the shots are shorter and a lot more productive with a bow.

In the heat I put a few frozen water bottles and some ziplock bags in a backpack or haversack. Either skin them on the spot or at least they are cool when I'm ready to clean.

I like flu flu and judos myself

[GrayRhino]

I like that squirrel whistle trick they used on the Bowhunters of Trad Gang dvd.  It worked pretty good.

Exactly

[Shawn Leonard]

Squirells are to tough for rubber blunts, use broadheads for on or near the ground and magnus blunt or such for up in the tree tops. Shawn

Best tip is a 40 gr. solid from a .22 rifle. But you are asking about arrows, so I use Ace hex blunts, or wingnut blunts I make by putting a 8-32 machine screw through the primer hole on a 38 casing and screwing a wingnut on it and then sharpening the points on a belt sander. You can add weight inside if you want heavier.

act like your hunting deer or another animal and they will appear.act like your hunten squirrels and you will be stump shooten(they wont come out). Early mornin and eavening are best for me.

And i second the 38.cal on regular arrows also. And if they are running lead them about 12 inches they are fast. Good luck

[BRITTMAN]

Use compound bow broadheads like muzzy broadheads with the trocar tip .Cut on contact heads slice right thru with out a hard impact . Like others have said blunts dont give a good kill  and you wont recover many that you hit with them.

[Trumpkin the Dwarf]

Aww...I thought you were asking about broad heads vs. blunts. I would have said that Simmons Tree sharks would gulp the tree rats down pretty easily!    

Sorry, I can't help with real advice on squirrel hunting.

I like to use field points.
