I have found that when using squirrel sounds on squirrels it has the opposite effect than on Fox or Coon or Coyote.
When using squirrel sounds they tend to leave the ground and go up a tree to see what the heck is going on. I don't think they are very territorial or anything.

Over the years I have tried calling squirrels from time to time. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. My lovely wife gave me a Primos Squirrel Buster call for Christmas last year, and so far it has proven to be fairly effective. It should be noted that a squirrel call doesn't "call 'em in." What it does do, however, is get the little buggers curious or agitated enough to expose themselves - start shaking that tail of theirs and looking about to see what's up. Once they do that, hold back for a bit until they settle down somewhat, then put the stalk on! Like I said, sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't.

has anybody heard around that due to the low amount of truly wild grey squirrels that in the fall you can only hunt the male squirrels?

Is there an easy way to distinguish between male and female from a distance? I've never heard such a thing as a "lack of wild squirrels", if that were the case, they should outlaw cars because I'm sure more get hit by cars than taken by hunters every year.

Also, I have to agree with Pemi-Man, how would one ever distinquish between a male and female squirrel? One would have to be pretty darn close, I would suspect, to make that distinction.  msj |
