I'm a squirrel hunter. I love it. I love deer, pig, etc, but I LOVE squirrel hunting. You're always moving, "stalking" as it were and it's not boring. Until this year, I've always used a shotgun here (.22 use is restricted depending on what WMA you're in here in MN).
Well, since my deer hunting isn't going so well, I've been bowhunting squirrels this year, and man, is it a blast. You'd be amazed at how much fun it is "stalking" close to these things and playing their cat and mouse game. The best part is, I can go at lunch to the public land 5 minutes away from my work every day. I've lost a few arrows and heads, but hey, if I went on the the cost/benefit analysis of meat dollars/ounce, I'd quit hunting. I do it for fun.
I've shot 5 so far. I use my crappiest arrows with the rubber blunt tips. Wallops them pretty good. I've tried the Zwickey "unloseable" heads, but apparently they didn't make that claim after hunting the marshy Minnesota public land. I buy 4 rubber blunts for $10 instead of the 2 for $10 Zwickey heads.
Anyway, some people think I'm crazy, but oh well. I'm having a blast. Anyone else bowhunt small game?
