Don't have enough arrows,lol. Heck I can't even hit'em on the ground much less in a tree. Has crossed my mind a few times sitting in the tree though.

Definatly lost quite a few arrows until I stuck 1 to the tree about 30 ft up. Had to go get the shotgun gun to get it

I never shoot up. A warm day in January when the ground is nice and soft is when I prefer to stalk them. Those warmer days really gets them out and restocking their stash.

I'm surprised more people don't (go out just for squirrel, that is), it's a heckuva lot of fun... and it really get's you dialed in for deer season. I hadn't been out yet this year, and was planning on going this weekend.
