I've hunted them with longbows and recurve bows. Far from a foolproof method and lots of arrows stay in the trees.

Well - the Twinkie Done Gone is certainly one better left to the professionals.
Once I get the trajectory right and make the BBQ er something like a dead fall while lighting the burners at the same time, I'll have dinner when I get home.

I'll be heading out tomorrow for opening day w' the .22, but since OP wanted primitive methods.... http://www.break.com/index/amazing-flying-squirrel.html
I was actually offended by a similar video, seemed cruel, but with a lil improvising I'm sure this could be adapted for humane primitive hunting.
I didn't even notice the first post. But that was the original that kinda urked me. I don't agree with sendin squirrels flying for fun, but for survival it could be adapted.
Don't worry ken I wouldn't harm any animal or snake unless I was going to eat it.
exceptions are Mice, Rats, and insects

i have a friend who invented a similar sport by accident.
she was camping, and saw a squirrel on a nearby sapling. as she approached, it ran up towards the top. she bent the sapling down towards her to get a better look as the squirrel panicked and tried to run down, which startled her and she let go of the sapling.
i'm assured the squirrel was fine, wherever it landed. i did not witness the event.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice - Grey's Law.

im like ken on this i think squirrels are brill ,and i dont hunt them ,they make cracking pets and i love em.
Rat traps and peanut butter. Tie the trap to a tree so only squirrels get nabbed and you aren't leaving holes in the trees. Hide's good and you won't be worrying about chomping down on a "bb" when you are eating it.
Highjack: Anyone know how to call squirrels with two quarters? I know, I know let the jokes begin but has anyone done this?
My buddy said his Grandpa used to do it but he never learned how.
I did learn that as a kid and used it for several years. Good ridge edged quarters. I can call them by mouth about as well now.

I actually raked one edge across the other edge. Sort of like striking a match. The ridges rubbing against each other sound like a squirrel barking.

I would usually find a tree or trees they had been working and sit some place where I had a good view and wait. If that didn't work then I'd call them...sparingly.
