Sorry to hear about some of your all’s indifferent seasons.
For me, it’s been a good one so far. Opener was a 6 squirrel day (albeit on 6-18 shooting!)

Had some other good days with better shooting. Didn’t take a lot of pics.

I too got sidetracked.

Got back on the path.

The irony is the house I bought this summer has 4 big pecan trees in the yard. The place is dripping with squirrels. If it wasn’t so fun to snipe em, I’d open a franchise of Ignwe’s hotel.

Y'all have a good Tgiving.

Nice work, PN, and gorgeous rifle.

One of these days, I'm going to get a pretty gun, and it'll be a squirrel rifle.

Looks like yours shoots too.

Went out for a few hours late yesterday afternoon. Got one right at sunset, but they were real skittish for the most part. I'd hear them, but they wouldn't let me set up a shot.

Didn't see any this afternoon. It was a beautiful afternoon anyway, 70 degrees.

Haven't had much of a chance to actually "squirrel hunt" this season, but after another unsuccessful morning in the deer stand yesterday, I did whack a couple corn bandits with the Mach II.

Played hooky this morning, sat down against a big oak in the creek bottom and soon saw a couple limbchickens playing grabass in the bushes. Was waiting for one to clear all the vegetation when some falling debris made me look up. This guy was about 30 feet up in the tree I was sitting against. A little back bending and a pause for his head to clear the branch: one in the bag.

Got tired of sitting and needed to stretch out my neck, so wandered up the slope. Saw this guy running off and noticed a big pecan full of holes nearby. Figured he might come back. Which he did.

Pretty day in the upper ‘60s. Makes it hard to work.

Hey SCgunnut, know where there’s any .22 lr in the area?

Yeah, we've got a ton of Mini-Mag, Stinger & CCI "Tactical" where I work, Shooter's Choice.

Another crappy windy afternoon to try to squirrel hunt on. Saw 5 but only managed to shoot 1. Temperature was upper 50's and it might have been a good day for hunting without wind. I carried the double again since everything was moving.

I got sidetracked and didn't get out until a few hours after sunset. Saw nadda. Nothing. We did get a "cold" front through here, so maybe the little wusses were holed up.

Love that shotty, PN.

Got to hunt again this afternoon; much better day, 60 degrees with only light winds....and not a single squirrel sighted. The woods were just empty, not even birds flitting around to look at. Just me and the trees.

It's been pretty here too, but I've been too wrapped up at work to get out. I'm hoping this weekend.

Did you get out PN? Where's all the other squirrel hunters?

I worry I'm cutting the limb chickens too much slack this season.

Sometimes we shoot a deer or two, also...The first one was my daughter's, the second one I killed with my .357 M66 while we were squirrel hunting...
