first of all get .22. they are more accurate and wont cause injury to an an animal. also always do head shots. less meat is ruined. now for the tips. bring a pair of binos for glassing and searching for them. in september look for beech nut trees their bushy tail heaven. a tip that many people use is to take a quarter and clack them together it will imitate a squirrels chatter. when you get one, chicken fry it. Good luck, Be safe

buy a different gun, get a ruger blackhawk and get crossman destroyer ex pellets, i outfitted mine with a tasco pronghorn 3-9x scope, but it comes with a 4x scope that has a good reticle on it. i shot a squirrel in the thigh and that thing still died after like 2 body flops on the ground.

heres a good gun.

Dont get a bb gun. they cost as much as a good .22 and they work 10x better

The 22lr is great on squirrels. Make sure your sights are on. I shot one with my mom's Winchester pump 22lr and I blew it jaw off. It wasn't pretty. I got it, but for a second it was like "Night of the Living Dead Squirrel." Also if you're going to be shooting a lot I recommend using the Remington shells with the brass dusted bullets. They turn your fingers gold, but keep the lead fouling down.

you probably want to get a .22 or a .410 i have both and they work great
and try to quietly stalk the squirrels
