Squirrel hunting—real squirrel hunting where you pursue wary game in the wild—will make you a better hunter. Every year as squirrel seasons open across the country, you will see a flurry of articles about that fact, but they rarely delve deeper, usually because they’re not written by squirrel hunters. It's a myth that squirrel hunting is only good for practice for other kinds of hunting. Squirrel hunting, in and of itself, is a worthwhile pursuit for any hunter.
