I'm looking to get a squirrel call, and would like to know what works good.

The lazy do not roast any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

In the meantime try kissing the back of your hand to make it sound like a squirrel feeding. You might find you don't need to buy one.

I've got several squirrel chuckers and have also use the hand kissin trick. They don't bring much results on the squirrels in my neck of the woods. If you can find a young squirrel in distress call that will be your best bet. It's hi pitched, almost like a whistle. The trick is to get the squirrels to reveal themselves and then you can put the sneak on em.     :archer:

I've used the "bark" calls and the whistle and haven't had much success with either.

Have you ever seen a Haydels SW-92 MR Squirrel whistle?  You can get them at Wal-Mart, but since I was a kid, I've been using two Coors beer caps wedged, hammered, and glued together with a hole drilled through it that my Grandpa made for me and taught me to use.  It is the same thing and works pretty good.  Don't have the fancy lanyard; just stick it in my mouth and walk around with it in there.  Surprised I haven't swallered it yet trippin' over a log or something.

Ah, Sleepyhollow, we must have been typing at the same time.

On a different note though, I actually find myself using a hawk call for squirrels (and rabbits) more than the "squirrel" call.  If I see one, a blast on the hawk call usually makes them freeze in their tracks for a few seconds.  It is almost (or probably is) an innate reaction for survival I think; they can't help but do it.
