TIP #1: Draw you gun and brace yourself facing in the general direction of the potential target. Vigorously rub two quarters together to make a sound similar to their "cutting" noise. You can do this by simply scrapping 2 quarters together (one ribbed edge over the other ribbed edge). Squirrels are often very territorial and may expose themselves to see what's going on in their territory.
Extra Tip: Consider using the quarter trick even after shooting and missing. If you know the squirrel remains nearby but hiding in a hole or on the backside of the tree. Sit and wait a few momemts and rub the quarters together. You just might be surprised how many times they're going to come out of hiding to investigate.
TIP #2: Sometimes, in the event you spook a squirrel, it will get on the backside of the tree and flatten against the trunk becoming virtually invisible to you. One technique to remedy this problem is to take up a position where you can take a shot very quickly and toss a stick or large rock to the other side of the tree. Often, the squirrel thinks you have moved around to that side of tree and will try to move and hide on the side that you are actually on letting you take your shot.
TIP #3: Often times squirrel hunting depends upon good old fashioned accuracy. Consider carrying a shooting stick which may do wonders for your shooting accuracy, particularly if you aren't near a tree that you can use as a support. Plus, it can double as a sturdy walking stick to help you to navigate terrain safer.
TIP #4: Sometimes the most effective method for locating plentiful squirrels is to go to where people commonly hunt for deer. The reason behind this is, if you're hunting on property that is also used for deer hunting, people often put out feeders for the deer and squirrels see this as an easy source of food and are often in the area in good numbers.
