Animals have an innate response to harsh weather by feeding heavily before ominous weather fronts approach, and with that understanding and a trusty .22 caliber rimfire, I headed to the woods at dawn in search of squirrels.
In Michigan, squirrels aren’t hunted as much as they are in some of the southern states and are quite under-utilized making for little competition from other hunters in most areas. I learned early in life that the .22 rimfire was the best tool for the job – not that a shotgun won’t bring them down – but, who needs the hidden lead pellets, extra holes, extra noise, extra cost, etc. Read more
