Squirrel Season

I always like to go squirrel hunting a few times before bow season starts but I think after the heat this week by Saturday they may already be cooked before even having to shoot them! I hope this is our Indian Summer! Oops hope saying that doesn't mean I am not political correct! LOL Anyone take a kid out this past Saturday on the youth squirrel hunt? Any luck? My daughter ran in a half marathon this weekend down at Va Beach so we didn't go but at least we got to eat some seafood at Capt George's!

Squirrel hunting was once a favorite when my boys were young. but at that time the season started in Oct . Little to hot just yet. Indian summer doesnt come till after first frost what the old timers always said. What little i have been in the woods there seem to be lots of Squirrel which usually occurs after good mast years. Like we have last year here in mason co.

It is Native American summer. Get with it guys.

LOL I know have to be PC anymore!

Hey JR how about posting the pics of your squirrel hunts and give a few tips please!

I normally go out with the 22 at first so I can put enough on the table for everyone and then go out later with the recurve. I think the most I have ever gotten on one hunt with a recurve is 3 though. If I remember correctly didn't you take your limit a couple of times last year?

I did. I have an area across from my cabin that is loaded with acorns usually. I wait until the squirrels are on the ground. I wear a ghillie suit but blow more stalks than kill. when the squirrels are down in the leaves I try to get close to them.

I like to squirrel hunt.

Last year I figured it took me 20 shots for each squirrel I got with the recurve. Never got more than one in a day. Lol

Save some of those arrows for those big deer :)
