Скачать или смотреть Late Season Squirrel Hunting in Appalachia | Why Small Game Makes Better Deer Hunters

Late-season squirrel hunting in Appalachia might not get the spotlight like deer season, but it plays a huge role in becoming a better hunter overall. On this December public land hunt, I grab the 20 gauge, lace up my boots, and spend the morning still hunting squirrels deep in the hills.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it — small game hunting builds real woodsmanship. From reading terrain and sign to moving slow, staying quiet, and reacting fast, everything you learn chasing squirrels directly carries over into deer hunting, especially on pressured public land.

This hunt was full of action — missed shots, kicked-up deer, thick Appalachian briars, and eventually a daily limit of squirrels before 11 a.m. With midday deer movement starting, I even slide into a known buck area before heading out to get the meat cooled down.

If you’re an Appalachian hunter, a public land DIY hunter, or someone looking to sharpen your still-hunting skills during the late season, this video shows exactly why small game matters.
