When the wind is up, the red fox squirrels hid. The little grey squirrels hit the ground in thickets. I've spent hours on my hands and knees, crawling through briars. Tough hunting, but well worth the reward.
I dunno! Never squirrel hunted in the snow. How to lure them out of holes and nests. Never tried. If they're out and active, go get 'em. If they aren't active, stay in camp. Seeing that a squirrel is actually a "rat", maybe some lessons from the Pied Piper of Hamlin would be in order! Michael Plets. In my experience, squirrels come out during any weather condition depending on its severity. I usually have the most luck just after it snows or rains when there is a slight drizzle or slow and steady snowfall.
You should try a ground stalk to cover as much area as possible. You can also try to lure them out of hiding by using a squirrel call. If you dont have one, take two quarters and strike them against eachother to create a "barking" imitation.
This works while remaning both in motion or while stationary. Tiggs Benoit. Why in the hell do you people want to kill these animals? Your Title is double speak. Outdoor Life What is in your hearts and minds? You get pleasure from killing something for no reason? Travis Birch. I've killed squirrel in just about every condition there is and have had luck just not as much but they come out during windy days but stick to the ground you might find a couple in trees but not many in the rain they still come out just not as active they'll stay close to there nest or den the snow don't really effect them unless it's a blizzard.

Insert curse words here. Rain can ruin many types of hunting plans , including the plans of the squirrel hunter but does rain have to always keep you indoors? How do squirrels naturally react to rain? These are some of the questions that we are going to try to answer. Let me begin by saying that I searched and searched for some scientific articles that could support the actions of squirrels during the rain but could not find anything. So, if you wake up to a rainy morning, should you go squirrel hunting?
I find it hard to EVER have an excuse not to get into the woods; even a bad day hunting is better than a good day at work. With that said, If you wake up to a downpour…stay home or try to wait it out. Often times you may be better off staying at home doing something else.
Now, let me expand on this just a little bit. If the weather is expected to get a little better, if the rain begins to lighten up or if there are no heavy winds or lightening I would personally go ahead and go. Take a camo colored poncho or some Gortex and go for it! There is no sure-fire way to be certain if a weather forecast will come true or not.
