in a hurry. Squirrels don't linger, they MOVE!!!
Use a standard velocity round, and use the Weaver stance when possible.
DON't rest sidearm (revolver) against tree, or the ringing won't stop.
Move quietly and slowly, some squirrels will freeze as your move possibly giving you a shot. You stop, they MOVE.
If squirrel flattens on limb and its a small tree (<10" Dia) try a kick on the trunk.
Best hunting for me was overcast day with light drizzle or just afterwards.
Sunny days either crack of dawn or dusk.
