Hunting squirrels is one of the best ways for a hunters of all levels to hone their skills. Squirrel hunting is usually one of the first experiences for people new to the sport of hunting, and does not need expensive licenses or hunting equipment to be successful.

Ruffed grouse hunting is likely the most demanding of all wing-shooting endeavors. A leisurely stroll through the woods alone, with friends, or dogs is contagious and induces hunters to repeated hunt grouse regardless of success rates.
