The high pitch squeak they make in communicating amongst each other also tells us where they are, hence the word SQUEAKS (Belding's ground squirrels). On a good day you can get out in a field, setup your table and bench rest, and shoot 3-5 hrs. in one spot without moving. Much more fun than Prairie Dog Shooting. That's because the shooting is non-stop. The only problem is your rifle gets hot and you need to switch guns. Because they are breeding right now they don't hear your guns reguardless of the calibur. Where you see the ground moving with squirrels when you drive up that signals a good day.
K-Falls, Or. and Cedarville Ca. are good places to shoot.
