Best buddy is one you don't have to take turns shooting with.I use mine when a squirrel has hidden itself behind a tree. I wait about 5 min, then give a bark or two. Most times the squirrel will peak around the tree to investigate. You have to be ready for a quick shot cause once the squirrels sees you he will duck behind the tree again. Sometimes having a buddy to hunt with helps. One guy circles around the tree while the other waits for the squirrel to show itself.
My son and I hunted squirrels with bows. I told him about calling squirrels and he didn't believe me. Next hunting trip I called a squirrel out of a nest. He said it was pure coincidence. I told him to pick another nest. Lather, rinse repeat. After several more he believed me.it was fun playing with it and seeing how they reacted to different sounds
Is there instructions in the box, would be interesting to see how they intended it to be used.Does anybody use a squirrel call? I've hunted squirrels my whole life but never tried calling them.
I picked up this old Sure-shot squirrel call at an Estate Sale and can't wait to try it. Tried it at home and drove the dogs crazy. Lol

Did he teach you to run around to the other side of the tree when you did it?My paw paw taught me to bark like a squirrel using my mouth.
When I hunted, I carroed a ball of string. When a squirrel wanyed to play hide n seek, I would tie the string to a bush on one side of the tree, then walk directly past the tree anput 15'-25' and sit down.
Wait a couple of minutes then jerk the string. Squirrel will come sround the tree. Have the gun in your shoulder ready....
Never tried calling them, always walked'm up
