Nature's New Unexpected Predator: Squirrels Eating Animals! | @researchatory

While squirrels are commonly known for their diet of nuts, seeds, and fruits, there have been recent documented cases of squirrels hunting and eating animals. #predatorysquirrels #squirrelhunter #animalbehaviorstudy #wildlifeecology #squirrelevolution #animalsmood #newtoy #research #sciences

In summary, while squirrels are generally known for their plant-based diet, recent research has revealed a significant instance of California ground squirrels actively hunting and consuming voles. This unusual behavior is potentially linked to changes in prey availability and highlights the adaptability of these animals.

Tips and Tricks for Bowhunting Small Game

by Beka Garris 

Small game hunting with a bow is definitely a challenge, but it's also a lot of fun and a great way to improve your archery skills. If you've hunted small game with archery equipment, then you probably know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, then read on for a few tips on successfully bagging some small critters with a stick and string.

Start with a small game animal that is easy to find and populates your local areas. I started with grey squirrels as there are so many here, and they're easy to get fairly close to (and wait out). They also tend to stop frequently and give you a good shot opportunity. Our squirrel season opens up about a month before deer season, so it also is a great way to scout public land and keep your bow muscles in shape.

1. Squirrels: With squirrels I prefer a small fixed blade that flies true to whatever grain field tips I practice with. Squirrels are tough little critters and although some people like to use blunts or a field tip with a washer behind it to stop penetration, I haven't had much luck with quick kills that way. I tend to also use standard hunting arrows with regular fletching as squirrels will often give me an easy shot sitting still while perched on a branch or sitting on the ground.

2. Rabbits: Now, small fixed blades work great for virtually any small game, but when it comes to rabbit hunting I prefer blunts. Rabbits are incredibly thin-skinned and it doesn't really take much to kill them. I also run beagles, so I always feel safer using blunts and prefer anyone hunting with me to use blunts. If for some reason my dog gets hit with a runaway arrow, I know she'll be ok. I prefer flu-flu arrows for rabbits, and I build my own using cheap uncut shafts from Walmart and wing feathers from turkeys I have shot. I prefer spiral wrap but other types of flu-flu fletching works great too. Flu-flu arrows are designed to give you more drag and are much easier to find while still giving you the knock-down power to kill small game. Rabbits will often be on the move when they offer you a shot, so it may take a few tries to get the hang of it. On the bright side, they often stop and try to blend into their surroundings after a few yards. 

3. Dove/Pheasant: Hunting birds with a bow is another story altogether. I use flu-flu arrows for birds as well, as they work best for aerial shots. With birds it's easiest to use a large broadhead or bird field tip such as bird points or judos. These are essentially blunts with wide prongs attached designed to knock the bird out of the sky. Hunting birds with archery equipment is definitely the toughest in my opinion but is completely feasible. When you scare a dove or pheasant up off the ground, there are a few seconds where they will "hover" in the air before taking flight. This is the easiest time to take your shot. 

As with any type of hunting, technique does matter. For squirrels, I tend to scout large wooded areas for hickory and walnut trees and setup right at daybreak to wait for them. It's not uncommon to shoot a couple squirrels in the same spot with a bow within a short amount of time. For squirrel hunting, patience is key.

With rabbits and birds, you will need to be much more active. Find the right habitat and walk slowly to kick up some game. Rabbit hunting is always best in the evening before sundown while bird hunting tends to be good all day.

Dove decoys are a big help.

As far as what type of bow to use, you can have success with both a compound or recurve. I have found recurve works better for those quick snap shots, while compound has its advantages for squirrel hunting and taking longer shots. There really is no wrong answer as both work great.

Groundhogs and crows (if there is a season in your state) are also great options and edible.

Take some time out this season to give it a try. It's a great way to practice and get some small game in the freezer.

Feeling Squirrely Part 1 (Warning: last photo is a bit graphic) Even though I didn't get a chance to shoot one myself, hunting squirrels is a great time. People tend overlook small game in PA. Most of the hunters I know stick to Whitetail and Turkey. Which I find a bit surprising. Every deer hunter has felt the excitement of hearing something trample through the woods, only to be disappointed by an exceptionally loud squirrel. Luckily the small game seasons are long, hopefully I'll get a chance to cook some up for myself. The squirrels the Pattons hunted last weekend were Fox Squirrels, though supposedly Gray Squirrels are the most common in PA. : : #foxsquirrel #hunting #smallgamehunting #squirrelhunting #getoutdoors https://www.instagram.com/p/CJEVJRspch5/?igshid=16o8a1vqwadlr
