I was shooting in a relatively flat alfalfa field. It was about 4 pm. I noticed at about 5 pm, they all stopped coming out. So, when is the best time of day to hunt them? My rifle is sighted in for 200 yards. I was shooting prone from some grain drills. Since I'm shooting slightly down on them, do I need to adjust for my downward angle? For most of them, I basically just put the crosshairs on em and watched em fly. I'm new to the .204, so I haven't really had a chance to see the ballistics in real action before. How far out does a target have to be before I start to compensate for the distance? I ask because most of my misses were over the top of the squirrels. I wonder if I'm compensating for bullet drop too much? I know the best thing would be to go to the range and shoot it at different distances, but with new found squirrels, why would I want to shoot at paper?

Any other tips, like useful equipment and such would be really helpful.
