No, it doesn't work for squirrels. They're actually built to last. Tougher to kill, tougher to skin, & tougher to cut up.

Rabbits are like permanent veal. Pasty & tender. They're the sissies of the small game world, falling over at the first punch, & offering no resistance while someone rifles through their pockets. If they weren't dead, I'm sure they would cut & wrap themselves for you, & place their pieces neatly in freezer bags.

Squirrels? No sir. They'll fight to the death, sometimes even longer. They're like the guy you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. If squirrels were bigger, they'd do a lot more than bark at you while you sit in your stand, & you'd let them. They're put together like little mma fighters. All sinewy & mean lookin. Scars, & probably tatts, too.

Don't be tryin to squeeze a squirrels innards out his butt. It doesn't work.

Assuming these are all planted birds ? Pay per bird. Where you spin them to disorient , stuff under brush and then " hunt "? I'm sure I just opened a can of worms but it's just not my thing. Sorry. I understand there isn't many non stockers around anymore but it's like trout fishing in the hatchery pools IMO Saw a wild bird last week and put up a pair last year Wish they were around like I heard they were many many years ago.

Haven't shot at a squirrel all season, most years I kill about a dozen. Saw plenty during archery and NY rifle season, but they've all but disappeared from the woodlot behind my house where I've hunted them for the last 40 years...odd. I have an open invitation to hunt fox squirrels next year, but it will be a 4-hour drive. If I kill one I will get it mounted.

In pic #3, it looks like a spot of blood on the yellow dog's shoulder. Did he catch a pellet?

I consider myself pretty careful, but I've always been really paranoid about giving the dogs plenty of space from where I shoot. I hunted ducks over dogs a few times, but only hunted pheasants once. It was awesome. Good job!
