Looking for squirrel call recommendations. I never really used one and only squirrel hunt one or twice a year, but my boys have taken a likin to it and want to get them both calls for their birthday in a couple of months.

I've never really had any luck with them. Haven't used them that much either though.

I don’t have this one but it’s very similar. They work. I haven’t squirrel hunted much for many years, but these things work great to get one to show his head. Even if they are settled down for a nap it seems to bring them out for a look. Handy after a shot to bring another one out to play too.
I can mouth call them pretty well, at least while deer hunting.
This actually works. Sounds just like a squirrel cutting a nut. I had as much luck doing this as I ever did with a squacker call, but I was mostly shooting arrows at them back when I used to squirrel hunt without dogs. And it only costs 50 cents.

I have a squirrel whistle somewhere deep in my 1980’s hunting attire. It’s a double coned shaped piece of metal with a hole in the middle. About the size of a quarter and it hangs on a lanyard. I also have one like Brock’s but wood and rubber.
Gramp taught us as to rub a quarter on a spent shotgun shell. The ones that have a "texture" or "rib" to the plastic part.
