Chad meets up with Jim Harris in attempt to take squirrels using a unique method of sling shot hunting. For more information about squirrel hunting visit fw.ky.gov/Educ...
That was some amazing squirrel hunting! I never knew squirrels were actually red circular discs sitting in a tree! I have A LOT to learn about squirrels.
So they named the clip before they filmed and edited it the did they...? It didn’t cross their mind to cut out the part where they didn’t find anything and just name it something else? It’s click bait.
@@LukePighetti It's illegal in my state but I don't care. This country was founded on the concept of FREEDOM. If I want to kill a damn squirrel with a primitive weapon I will.
As an 81 yearold Mo. Ozark hillbilly hunting skwrills, and rabbits with a hickory fork sling shot and rubbers made from pre ww2 red rubber innertubes was just a daily thing for me and same age cousins to do , never dreamed one could buy a fancy sling shot at a store, lol, good vid. :)
hahaha... didn't know you can sling shot with jabbering mouths, maybe this is for peta sport, you get to wear all the hunting gears but without the killing lol
This has to be one of my favorite videos I’ve watched. We anticipate this ending with an ultimate result. It’s not about that. It’s about getting out there with nature, learning a concept from a newfound friend. This was just an awesome and outright wonderful video. It had a story line with value. Everything seems so commercial nowadays, but this had soul! Thank you!
Is it me or is it when you are out and about with no hunting tool there are squirrels galore and run in front of you and play about. And when it come time to look for them they are hiding? You think they know?
When I couldn't get bands for my wham-o ,....I epoxied the slots shut,... then drilled holes in it and put in 1/4 inch rod and put round tubing on it. The wrist rocket sling shots still out do the others. If you want consistency you need a wrist brace. Unless you use weak bands,... to know the power of your slingshot you need to know the speed and weight of your projectile.
I'm glad slingshots were finally made legal for hunting in Kentucky. I've really been enjoying hunting this way. It's a little more challenging than a shotgun or 22 rifle.
Jim Harris the man behind the sps slingshot is a greAt shot and that sling the 2 of them are shooting is Jim’s sps beautiful slings to use specially for hunting although I use flatbands nowadays much quicker but don’t last as long as tubes but much more accurate also good vid, u can’t hunt or shoot at something that’s not there but if Jim got his chance he woulda bagged with it for sure ✌🏼👍🏻💯
yes eye protection is important back in the early 60's i had a plastic slingshot i pulled pack and it broke at the top of the "Y" came back hit me in the eye at age 12 laid in the hospital for a week with patches over both eyes became nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other been wearing glasses ever since and have a cataract in one eye since that time quality equipment is necessary
Hi Jim, I competed against you in 2010 at the East Coast Sling shot tournament. WE had a great time didn't we? Jay Bird, Flatband, Jorg from Germany, the Bunny Buster. If memory serves we had 22 shooters that year. I think i came in 8th. LOL
The best part about hunting is feeling like a big cat sitting in the bush, waiting for food. The killing part is fun too, but the most fun for me is the stalking
Yes, eyewear and a jock cup are required equipment. A month ago I was using my Barnett Black Widow and a ricochet hit my father in law night in the ruts. I get 25 fpe with it, with 50 caliber steel balls. That's enough to kill raccoons, 40 pound hogs, and 50 pound coyotes. Awesome slingshot, can be outfitted to shoot arrows to kill 100 pound Texas hogs and 150 pound Axis deer... LEGALLY.
My first backyard hunting in Tennessee was with slingshots. Mom grew up during the Depression.She was tired of squirrels & rabbits so she wouldn't eat what my brother & I would kill or knock out of trees for the Scottish terriers to kill.
I'm as amateur as they come with a slingshot I was hoping to become a rather fairly good shot after watching you demolish poker chips from as far away as you did has no made me believe that there's no chance in hell will ever be that good LOL
I love slingshot hunting I have whacked so much small game with my Gamekeeper pocket poacher. I use 12mm lead for rabbit/squirrel/ducks and 9.5mm steel for for magpies, pigeons and doves....
Wait, so you have to hit a ~2" target at ~5 yards & you aim for right under the ear, right? I have no qualms about stewing squirrels, they eat my figs & taunt my dog, the bastards
Uhh takes more than three hits in a row to ethically hunt. Expect a solid year practice everyday for the average shooter. Slingshots are like traditional archery for the learning curve involved.... Except the distances for kills is similar and the target size it's way smaller (ie bow hunt a deer vs squirrel..... Big difference of kill zone @ 10-20 yards). I love slingshots butt it's not this easy.
Please do not shoot red squirrel They are going to become endangered Black squirrels are highly aggressive and are killing native red and grey squirrels Please only hunt black squirrel
Definitely use lead for hunting. I hit a squirrel right in the side of the head with a 9mm steel and he ran off. Found blood on the tree, but it didn't kill him.
It's nothing like sending your child to pick out the hamburger, chicken or pork chops that someone else killed & neatly wrapped for you to eat while claiming moral superiority since *you* didn't kill the animal, right?
That was some amazing squirrel hunting! I never knew squirrels were actually red circular discs sitting in a tree! I have A LOT to learn about squirrels.
Smartass. Slim chance they would bag a squirrel with a slingshot while filming a how to video 🤷🏼♂️😂
So they named the clip before they filmed and edited it the did they...? It didn’t cross their mind to cut out the part where they didn’t find anything and just name it something else?
It’s click bait.
@@jesselee2549 EXACTLY they made a "squirrel hunting" video and just chatted and shot targets
4 years of slingshot hunting and I grab it first now instead of my rifles I definitely recommend it to people that hadn't tried it
We can't slingshot hunt in Maine unfortunately. Makes me sad.
Same in oh
How about no😂😂😂

You should call your video,"Two guys talk about Hunting Squirrels With Slingshots"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
hahaha... didn't know you can sling shot with jabbering mouths, maybe this is for peta sport, you get to wear all the hunting gears but without the killing lol
I thought the camouflage was a nice touch
makes so much sense
A better title would have been “Squirrels watch two guys talk about hunting squirrels with a slingshot “! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!

It is actually very true that you can be very accurate and get a lot of energy out of slingshots
Glad to see you got just about 1 million views for bird watching...
Glad they took the time to put together a video explaining all that’s involved in the sport
Is it me or is it when you are out and about with no hunting tool there are squirrels galore and run in front of you and play about. And when it come time to look for them they are hiding? You think they know?
What if the game animals are stalking you & reporting back to a central location?
look at them lol, all geared up in camouflaged combats to take on the mighty squirrel.
When I couldn't get bands for my wham-o ,....I epoxied the slots shut,... then drilled holes in it and put in 1/4 inch rod and put round tubing on it.
The wrist rocket sling shots still out do the others.
If you want consistency you need a wrist brace.

no one that shoots competitive uses a brace. Thats only for the old fashioned wire framed Daisy F16 types...

I have been using the slingshot for 31 years already and I also have a custom made stainless steel slingshot.
I also am a HAM Radio Operator. The process of using a slingshot to throw your support cord of your antenna wire up into a high point is true.
I recommend looking at videos of squirrel launching. Very satisfying.
There was no hunting
Jeremy Coffie nada one squirrel was harmed in the making of this video. However the tree's bark was irreparably damaged.
There was hunting--just no squirrel.
There may have been hunting but no killing, two different things. Like fishing and catching.
most of the time spent hunting is just sitting around waiting anyway
kyguy1980 Yes there was, they just didn't get anything. 🤦♂️
Great video. The accuracy was amazing!
Great video I liked the targets
I love sling shot hunting.
video starts at 3:34
Catfish Brothers thanks
Catfish Brothers thanks
Yes. That's where the gold kicks in...
...and finish at 3:53
Might as well start at 508
My grandfather survived starvation in Russia by shooting hundreds of sparrows a day that fed him and his family. Don't under estimate the slingshot
I love you the slingshot
Wow great shoot 😮
I've been putting my antennas up with a sling shot for over twenty years.
Great Video ! Thanks for sharing !
I like slingshots with a wrist brace. I usually go for heavy pull bands to which is something that a lot of slingshots don't come with out of the box.
They do you just have to cut them to your size
"in an attempt" that's the disclaimer. Still an informative video. I prefer lead ammo because of the richochet effect.
I need to pull out my old wrist rocket out of the cupboard and sling some marbles!
In the uk most ppl hunt with slingshots I use couple flat bands and 14mm lead balls i shoot about 26ft
No squirrels were harmed in the making of this video...
42 year old Bart Simpson goes hunting with a slingshot
I enjoy sling shooting as a hobby and a good skill to have. I don't buy the expensive metal balls/ammo. instead I recommend using marbles.
Pebbles picked up off the ground are free ammunition.
awesome shooting
yes eye protection is important back in the early 60's i had a plastic slingshot i pulled pack and it broke at the top of the "Y" came back hit me in the eye at age 12 laid in the hospital for a week with patches over both eyes became nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other been wearing glasses ever since and have a cataract in one eye since that time quality equipment is necessary
Maybe those little disks they shot are called squirrels
I'm still hunting a video about actual hunting with a slingshot.
Good vid! What is the fork gap just curious...
Hi Jim, I competed against you in 2010 at the East Coast Sling shot tournament. WE had a great time didn't we? Jay Bird, Flatband, Jorg from Germany, the Bunny Buster. If memory serves we had 22 shooters that year. I think i came in 8th. LOL

Stand sideways, kids
My first backyard hunting in Tennessee was with slingshots.
Mom grew up during the Depression.She was tired of squirrels & rabbits so she wouldn't eat what my brother & I would kill or knock out of trees for the Scottish terriers to kill.
Just curious: Why were slingshots outlawed in Kentucky?
J Woody most likely at one time it was found not ethical and then was again but with restrictions
They were never "outlawed" in Kentucky. You just couldn't hunt with them.
What is the thickness of your rubber ?
I'm as amateur as they come with a slingshot I was hoping to become a rather fairly good shot after watching you demolish poker chips from as far away as you did has no made me believe that there's no chance in hell will ever be that good LOL
Re-title: Intelligent Squirrels watching two bozos talk about squirrel hunting
Do you hunt in Geneva
hunting squirels!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂next !? hunting mousse !! 😂😂
the music when they set out to kill a squirrel lol
What tubes were you using?
By the way, another thing, I think these guys are not clear what a squirrel actually looks like. They might be looking for an animal with antlers.
two big squirrel 🤣🤣
Nice 👌👌👍
The guy on the right....Yum! King David slew a giant with something simular
I love slingshot hunting I have whacked so much small game with my Gamekeeper pocket poacher. I use 12mm lead for rabbit/squirrel/ducks and 9.5mm steel for for magpies, pigeons and doves....
Good for catching a quick dinner, if they're around, but also to shut up a dam chattering squirrel when sitting in a tree stand.
Where can I get one of those sling shots
You shoot the tree and than your bearing ball came back to you and hit your head..hahaha very dangerous sir..
Wow what a great hunting video. All they did was talking...
For what purpose????
PETA friendly video..
What is possible set target on Leger tarch
Wait, so you have to hit a ~2" target at ~5 yards & you aim for right under the ear, right? I have no qualms about stewing squirrels, they eat my figs & taunt my dog, the bastards
What you guys really doing in the woods?!
Maybe looking for Brokeback mountain.
@@juans6639 only they & their hairdressers know for sure.
Good Camo
I used to hunt small wild game with a slingshot as a 5 year old boy in Mexico only kill what you need to survive.
I don’t need to watch it after I read some comments
What size is your buckshot ?
well where is the real squirrel hunting? nice sweatshirt and pants/cap on the right
No squirrels were harmed during the making of this video.
Can you eat a squirrel? Or is the fun to kill a animal?
No squirrels were harmed during the making of this "Hunting" video.

When i hunt i dont talk all friggin day
Why did the title say squirrel hunting and you didn’t hunt squirrels
Very good
Where are the dead squirrels?
They start hunting at 5:08
No, they start walking and sitting for nothing at 5:08.
No dog for hunting squirrel?
Uhh takes more than three hits in a row to ethically hunt.

I love slingshots butt it's not this easy.
Can you believe it.....slingshots are totally illegal in in NYC WTF....
Omg there's blood everywhere!
this was survival for poor folks way back when
I use to slingshot hunt small game when I was 6/7 yld.
No squirrels were harmed in the making of this video
Ha ha ive just made the same comment before reading yours
Why would normal adult person do this?!
Tiosav Darivalic to eat

Please do not shoot red squirrel
They are going to become endangered
Black squirrels are highly aggressive and are killing native red and grey squirrels
Please only hunt black squirrel
your waisting your time you can't educate pork
I need a good aiming technique . HELP
this sling shot for sale?
Where's the squirrel?
Definitely use lead for hunting. I hit a squirrel right in the side of the head with a 9mm steel and he ran off. Found blood on the tree, but it didn't kill him.
where can i buy a slingshot like that?
Search Performance Catapults on facebook.
Go to the slingshotforum and see what they have. I love Rufus Hussey, Bill Hayes, and all those slingers.
try "" Gamekeeperjohn@slingshots.co.uk
At toys r us
Nice skill
My dad makes it sound like a bullet 😂
I thought you guys were going hunting not hiking
In my friends circle we never have an "unsuccessful hunt." We have "armed nature hikes."
Some slingshots have a 40lb draw weight to.
On the other hand, I was here to comment on burly men going toe-to-toe with little squirrels but apparently I don't need to this time. I'm relieved.
It's nothing like sending your child to pick out the hamburger, chicken or pork chops that someone else killed & neatly wrapped for you to eat while claiming moral superiority since *you* didn't kill the animal, right?
I need to get rid of the squirrels in my garden.
