My best shot ever, on a squirrel is with the 17. It was 132 yards to a squirrel on the ground. I was sitting on the ground using my home made shooting sticks and leaning my back against a tree for a rock solid shooting position.
Yesterday I was out scouting for deer season this coming weekend and I came across a band of squirrel feeding at the edge of a corn feild. I stood and watched for about ten minutes, then I tried about 4-5 blows (like a deer scenting you) and the hillside came alive with barking and I counted 13 different squirrels in the trees and on the ground withing 60 yards of where i was standing.
Wouldn't you now it, I didn't have permission for squirrel hunting, so I didn't have my gun with me.
Later last night I called the land owner and secured permission for late season squirrels.

Do you have any hunting tactics that you care to share?
Thank you.
