I was going to post a link or two, but Googling "squirrel cleaning" produced so many decent looking hits I think I'll just commend that approach to you.
And this past year, in the SGLs at least, squirrel hunting was far from "find a likely looking spot and start shooting." We had a heck of a time finding crap to shoot, though my boy and wife were able to bag their first during the year.
Lake Nockamixon (sp?) produced excellent results, though. Sometime, when my wife isn't looking over my shoulder, I'm going to have to tell ya'll about my wife experiencing "buck fever" when she saw a big ole squirrel there. Suffice to say, I say my wife, shotgun in her left hand, on her hip and pointing at the sky, while she pointed a finger at a squirrel yelling "BUNNY BUNNY SQUIRREL SQUIRREL!!!" She kept pointing her finger at the thing, shaking it at it, even after she quit yelling. If she'd remembered to take the safety off her damn finger, it wouldn't have had a chance!! That ended up being a wasted hunting day, because every time Sean or I would hear or see something, we'd stand there blazing away with our fingers, yelling "BUNNY BUNNY SQUIRREL SQUIRREL" at the top of our lungs
