good job. we’ve got a black squirrel
problem up north and they’re aggressively fighting the red squirrels but for some reason squirrels are illegal to shoot in Quebec so we have to watch them slowly take over the native population.

I remember shooting a squirrel with my shitty Crossman 760 bb gun. It knocked it out of the tree but didn't kill it. I had to chase this wounded squirrel then press the butt of the bb gun against it's neck to break it.

It's alright anon. You put in effort to make sure it didn't continue to suffer. That's what counts. When I shot my first deer it collapsed but continued to breathe. It's strange how clearly i can recall the sound. Just raspy and labored. I ended it quickly but felt terrible.
The point is as long as you put in effort to learn and get better you're doing alright.

Nice OP. I didn't take any pics but I took one squirrel this season with my 10/22 as well (Bill Ruger may have been a fudd but that's one of the greaest rifles ever designed). Made a nice pot of stew with it. I also took my good friend hunting for the first time. He knocked the squirrel out of the tree but it was still alive so I finished it with my .22 as he only had a shotgun and didn't wanna ruin it with a close shot. So you might say I got two kills

they're the best game for innawoods/survival camping when something like a deer would be too big to be reasonably processed and stored. They're fairly common and not as skittish as other critters and can be easily trapped or shot. They also taste pretty good, kinda like darker meat chicken from my experience

Jesus Christ you people I swear. What about, you know, bagging a deer, processing it, storing it. And then taking the meat with you for hiking? That way you don't have to shoot fucking squirrels like some adolescent AND you have a steady supply of actually good meat for a long time.

notice I said survival, as in if you've ran out of other food. I don't hunt squirrel, but you can and some people do.

The entire process is easy and its tons of fun. Big game hunting is an endeavor while small game is just relaxing. Just going innawoods w/ ur .22 and nailing some tree rats. Goddamn im excited for the fall

Not him but forkies taste great, maybe even best. You don't get as much meat for sure, but it's better meat than you get from that 4-5 year old monster.

For squirrel hunters with a .22 - is there concern about shooting upward? Unless they have the trunk of the tree right behind them, and you are very confident in your shot, it seems mildly dangerous to shoot at what I assume is a 45 degree angle, no? That bullet has to come down somewhere?

I have always wondered this. I would like to use my .22 pellet rifle to go for squirrels, and am curious how actual cartridge users approach this situation.

Thanks. He ran about 75 yards but I didn't find him until I went back to look again the next morning. He was fairly close so the shot landed high and didn't leave a blood trail to follow

He was a fairly decent 6 point, almost a 7. I kept the skull and am going to make a Euro mount with it. Still hace the meat in the freezer, I'm working through the last of a doe I shot earlier in the season before I get to him

Valid point & question. But I always hunt on decently sized public land and study a map before I go out. So when I do shoot upwards, I have somewhat of an idea of the surrounding area.

Because I just got my hunting license in the spring and this is my first season out. All I have is a .22 and AR15, also I dont have the infrastructure (deep freezer, equipment,etc) to hunt big game, predators, etc.

I dont care if I hit someone.

Kidding... No its just if you calculate the odds, especially when you are 5 miles into the woods- you are about equal odds with winning the lottery and hitting someone. If I was hunting more towards civilization, like on a farm I would still have great odds of never hitting anyone, but I would be more swayed by your point.

I can spray my 10/22 at 45° without care where I go.

Well I normally don't eat meat is why I'm not going to kill a deer. The squirrel I killed was with a rock I threw. It tasted ok.

It’s a possibility, but a very fucking slim one. You should worry more about hitting someone’s house, which is why you ought to know your surroundings.
