is this good for squirrel hunting

No , you need a lot more FPS and a bigger round like a .22 pellet , to be able to humanely dispatch a squirrel , you never want to make an animal suffer even when it is a nuisance pest as squirrels can sometimes be .

It just does not work. The deer graze within feet of the unit. I do not know about squirrels since they ar not a problem in my garden but I doubt this thin will help.

i only use mine on squirrel and grackles/crows.....i also like a clean kill and don't feel a light .22 cal pellet at under 1000fps gives a clean kill unless a headshot....the gun is capable of those headshots, so depends on the shooter, but still personally would recommend a different gun.

yes.. that was what we purchased it for, to get rid of squirrels in our attic. it took about a week or 10 days.. they left and have never been back.

You'll probably need leads to pest control with this. I've had squirrels take multiple shots before dying, which is inhumane and sometimes even get away. You may want to invest in a higher end pumper, or a break barrel for pest control. Lead free pellets just don't have the punch needed to kill.

I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets. It depends on what you are hunting. .177 pellets may kill small rodents and birds at fairly close range. Crows, rats, squirrels, maybe small raccoons and possum. The most deadly and accurate are the pellets that are hollow pointed. The gun will jam if you load some pointed pellets in the magazine. If you are hunting something bigger, you need a gun (preferably, a rifle) that will shoot .22 cal. pellets. You need high velocity to get a clean kill on something larger than rodents. P-25 is only about 420 fps with a fresh Co2 cartridge. I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets.

This range finder works well for hunting. It is quite accurate up to 300 yards for elk and moose and up to 225 yards for antelope and deer.

I havent caught anything other than rats but thats because i used it indoors. If you put bait that attracts squirrels i would imagine it will catch them. I would suggest looking for a "humane rodent trap" that wont harm them if you are worried about that

I'd guess it would be fine for either. My husband and son got it for deer hunting (gun). They spent a great deal of time sitting inside watching the squirrels play inches from the window. :)

This trap is designed for rats and mice only. It is not recommended for use with squirrels, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Yes. It works. We had a squirrel in our attic. I set the trap right at the opening and got him. Read my review.

It certainly could but I personally wouldn't attempt it. I consider myself an excellent shot with this great little gun but would never attempt squirrel size game unless it came down to survival. The .177 PC77 is great for small pests such as rats and mice. I would opt for a more ethically appropriate .22 pellet rifle for squirrels.

Keep in mind these are KILL traps, which might be illegal for squirrel use depending on your county / city codes.

I would not think so. I trap and need to put down small ground squirrels and I use a .22, CO2 pistol point blank, and I usually have to put in several rounds to quickly dispatch them. I have put about 400 rounds through this model over the past 2 months and I am finally use to it. I started using the lighter, more expensive rounds, but really, the common pellets seem to do OK for my indoor, 45 foot cardboard targets once you learn to adjust for the drop. I have four other types of pellet pistols, but this one I like for the easy loading and cocking. It is plastic, large, so-so quality, but OK for just plinking at the price. I would not think so.

It will work great for coon hunting. Use mine for coyote and bear hunting and love the accuracy!! Won't go wrong!

I don't hunt but I use mine for target archery. If you range on the animal first then set your site, you should be good.

No...it cannot...an air rifle is not suitable to hunt anything larger than a squirrel. Shooting a deer with this rifle would only cause it pain and give it a flesh wound.
