Is legal to have an air rifle with you to kill squirrels while deer hunting? I've got about 10,000 squirrels I like to thin out.

I don't know, you can carry a hand gun if you have proper license. It isn't like you would use the air rifle to kill/shoot a deer. Just make sure you stay under the bag limit and retrieve your game.
Other than rustling leaves like crazy right now I like those dang pain in the butts while I deer hunt. They are almost always tipping me off to an approaching deer!

I had the same problem this morning. I was being invaded by squirrels. All morning long at any time during my hunt i could count at least 10 at the same time. They sound like an elephant coming through the woods, so they keep you on full alert. i know if i would take my rifle out to the same spot I would not see any of them.

You can always pack an arrow just for that! If I'm useing mechs I always keep a muzzy tipped arrow to use as a finisher or to shoot at squirrels. (squirrels, it turns out, are also good at detecting loose fletching )  |

so ... do you just shoot one and that is all? Do you carry more arrows for squirrels? Do you climb down and get your arrow after a kill or miss and wait for the next squirrel?
Thinning out "10,000" squirrels might take more than an arrow or two.

True, but it's quieter---and when you shoot one the rest usually disappear!
