Do I need a license to hunt squirrels??
Posted by terrible_goat_6962 on August 6, 2022 at 12:19 amSo for the past 4-5 days I have been watching A LOT of hunting videos, I want to hunt, but I am not exactly sure how to get a license, do I need one to hunt squirrel, literally in my backyard with a pellet gun???

Check your local DNR websites for rules, limits, seasons.
