Squirrel Season is on!
Bowtech Tomkat Bow
Well this is the first animal ever with a bow, and i go to tell you. It is great practice too.
Shot these guys,about 12 yards.
I feed them during summer ears of corn on the fence and when close to season i pile corn in front of my bow target.
Using a Ameristep G20 popup blind and taking some great squirrels
If you like squirrel, i suggest you use them to your advantage in gaining shooting skills from sitting and patience on waiting them out. Shot placement is another thing so you dont mess them up with broadheads.
The first 2 i shot was with field points and was not killing the animals very fast. So i put on some Tight Point T-Lock Shuttle point broad heads and they work great for this as you can see in the last 2 images.

I really want to hunt squirrels, but I refuse to spend 20 bucks per squirrel. What I mean is, I would lose every arrow unless I was shooting them from high to low, which cannot happen. How do you keep your arrows from going to the friggin moon?

Ha ha yes thats right i already said that in the post lol. Yeah man feed them off and on during summer. and then pile corn in front of your target mate to not lose arrows.
In the summer i put 1/3 ear of corn on a nail on about 10 posts on my fence with a form nail.
After they are coming and season gets close, like in sept i make a milk glass pile in front of my target.
They will fight over it and you will get the bad boy first "king squirrel" of the pile. But to keep allot around you put corn on pole so thye dont really run each other off during summer
.I am a new bow hunter mate. I will go deer/hog/turkey hunting on the 7th-8th of this month. Hope i have some more pictures to show from that hunt!

They are very tasty in my opinion. But you need little more then 4. So those are in freezer now.
I wont shoot them if i wasnt going to eat them. Even if it was good practice.
