Our season doesn't open until the first weekend of October.

Went again this am. Temps . were in low 50's. No mosquitos even buzzing about. One of the wierdest morning I've ever had hunting squirrels. Saw a bunch of gray squirrels, but they were all either running on the ground or were 1-2 ft. off the ground, hanging on the sides of small trees. The mast hasn't started to drop, yet. I did finally get shots at 3, but only managed to get one. Just flat out missed the other two. This is a new place I just got permission to hunt. It's a neat place, and I will be going back.

Can't wait -well I guess I have to -but come on squirrel season.
Gitter done Maddog !

Well, was going down south, this weekend, and hunt squirrels and catch catfish. Had to cancel, cause my allergies are absolutely killing me, along with my back, legs, and feet. Off to the chiropractor, in a couple hrs. Sux to get old....

Alabama season opened on Tuesday the 15th this year; three days in and so far 3 squirrels and 1 rabbit. I think they passed cat inspection...

Dang, Phillip is breaking out all those fine looking ol' guns of his.
Very good..

Mike: off topic but have you tried Nasacort for your allergies?

It is the difference between living and existing for me. Simple and relatively cheap.


BTW: I found a stronghold of fox squirrels moving north in Wyoming last week...I might get a little hunting closer to home!

Tom, I use Nasacort, have been for almost a year. Also using generic allegra, claratin, chlor tabs, benedryl....yada, yada, yada. I think this year the only thing that's gonna help, is a frost.

Phillip, nice pics, beautiful guns.


We get the storms out of the way today, and tomorrow, I may go hunting Sunday, when we have a cool spell, again.

All the pills stopped working for me years ago... Nasacort is a lifesaver. But I forget you have about a billion other kinds of plants that pollinate back there...

Went for a walk right after dawn and saw this one. I need some Nasacort and Robitussin, some sort of upper respiratory virus going around. Went back to bed after the morning woods walk.

Shot 2 more squirrels early this morning; the first was decent sized, the second was tiny, I guess what some of ya'll are calling "breakfast squirrels". :p

Phillip,
Love seeing your pictures. They are well composed and feature good looking shotguns and knives. Excellent!

Went out for a coupla hrs. this am. First I'd been out since last weekend. the woods was absolutely beautiful. Chilly enough, that I had on an insulated sweat shirt. Saw 5-6 squirrels, but only managed to shoot one. Prolly missed 4.... Think I forgot to clean my glasses.... .









The last supper....er breakfast, so to speak.

Nice shooting.. Beautiful time of year in the hardwood country..

I hear ya! I have yet to go as the kids activities have kept me tied up every weekend so far. Might try to shoot a couple this Sunday between deer hunts with the 8yo. My grandpa used to run all over the Buckskin bottoms and strip pits chasing squirrels. He still talks to a father/son combo there that kill a couple hundred a year. But nothing like it used to be that for sure. Still a bit too hot and buggy, but it doesn't get much better than hunting squirrels.

pointer, thought ya fell in and the hogs ate ya! Glad ta see ya back. Went hunting this am. It was beautiful out! I saw three, and shot two. Both red heads. The way it's 'posed ta be .......

Good shooting Mike!


I been out shooting bunnies...my surrogate squirrels

I don't have time to be 'et!

Went this am, to a buddy's place, that I hadn't been to this season. Prolly the toughest hunt so far this season. Saw plenty of squirrels, but it was almost impossible to get a shot! The place is beautiful, 35/40 acres of bottoms, with rolling hillsides and a creek running through the middle. Here's some pics.





Said squirrel. The only one I shot in 2 1/2 hrs.











Some camping area pics. Think I'm gonna set up a campout there for next season with my son and son-in-law.
