Im bored i guess but the thought did cross my mind...

Whats your stickbow set up for squirrel and do you use any squirrel calls?   I was on a call makers website and saw his bellows style squirrel calls and wondered if they'd work with bow ( being close to bottom of tree i suppose)

Any opinions?
"Us vs Them"

Orion

Seldom hunt them anymore, but when I did, I used my standard deer set up.  Used steel blunts for shots in trees, small broadheads for shots on the ground.  Gave up using flu-flu arrows.  Squirrels are tough critters, and the flu-flus often don't hit hard enough to kill. Never found it necessary to use calls, though I suspect they work in the right hands.   

Longrifleman

Yep, same. No calls, steel small game heads, and I just wander thru the woods until I see 'em, then just try to sneak up close enough to get a shot...

...Except when there's too many in the back yard under the bird feeder-then I just whack 'em from our kitchen slider, & haul 'em down to the pasture across the road to feed the turkey vultures ("buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms..." I once heard  ;) )


I also use my carbon shafts instead of aluminum so they won't get bent up! :thumbsup:
