No secrets. Get out there and stay out there. Nothing like watching the sun come up and experiencing the woods coming alive. Find the mast trees they are using and sooner or late they will show up.

My squirrel hunting is limited to 2-3 hours in the morning. I never shoot more than 3 in an outing. When I have those eaten I go out for more. Sound moderators in my opinion are over rated as to their effectiveness. They are not silent and a good subsonic round is for practical purposes just as effective sound wise without a suppressor. I have several .22s that are threaded but have practically quit hunting with one because I hunt public ground. Doesn't seem to make any difference in the number of squirrels I bag.

Anschutz makes some of the most accurate .22 rifles in the world. With ammo it likes is very capable of hitting a squirrel right in the eye at 50 yards. They will absolutely sour you on most other rifles. I have many good squirrel rifles after 50 plus years of collecting, trading, shooting, I kept the keepers and moved the others down the road. Currently I am working with a sound moderator on several rifles to see if I can get the required accuracy with the subsonic ammo available.

My grandfather was always shooting his Browning semiauto 22. He would shoot all the walnuts off a tree on his property each year. One time he showed.me a target with a hole about the size of a dime that he said had fifty rounds in it. He hunted in both Indiana and Ohio each year. He averaged about 80 a year until his eyesight finally put him out of action.

Anybody else hunt squirrels with a flintloct? I am using a .62 caliber smoothbore. The range is limited to 20 yards or less. I am planning to get it jug choked to increase the range.
