was working on some trails and saw where the squirrels are cutting pine cones like there's no tomorrow.

Squirrels. What that? grin

my mistake, skwerls...

Well, if it doesn't rain, I'm gonna hunt Sat., Sun., and Mon., mornings. Need ta get caught up on some limb chickens!

Looking like maybe Tuesday morning for me. Temps are predicted to cool down a tad.

Headin' out the door, in about an hour, to give it a try. Kinda warm out, but I have a small grove of hickories I'm going to check, first thing.

Squirrels weren't moving this am. Heard two, saw two, shot at one, and hit a limb..... ...oh well. Gonna try a new woods tomorrow.

Went hunting with the boy, yesterday. At least the sun shined and it wasn't nearly as muggy. New place, with all kinds of wildlife. Deer, turkeys, coons, ducks, geese, and skads of squirrels! Squirrels were wilder than march hares, but I did finally manage to dumb into two.

Forgot to mention, when I was picking the second squirrel up off the ground, two hen turkeys, hiding in some tall weeds about 10 ft. from me, erupted out of the grass, flying off. I about peed my pants, then laughed my azz off!

Been there, "feet don't fail me time". Got a month before ours opens..

Good going! I went this morning....saw 2 and got one. Kinda breezy and they weren't moving! Oh well,,it's early yet.

You guys all suck, I can't kill a squirrel legally until October!

Better the me I simply can't find one.

Went yesterday, saw a bunch of squirrels, but they were all moving fast. Had one pinned down in a pignut hickory, and....missed him! . Don't know if it's me, my danged bi focals or the scope...but I took the Hubel scope[as ingwe calls it] off the rifle and replaced it with a fixed 4x leupold with lower rings. Going out tthis pm and sight it in, and give it a shot thurs., sat., and sun. If that don't work, I'm going in to get my eyes checked, next week[I'm over due]. Gonna be hotter than H for the next 3 days, then finally cool off. Stay tuned......

I'm suspending my squirrel season for the next couple of weekends. Got a date with, hopefully, three speedgoats!

Remember to take the shotguns with you squirrel hunting in Oct. as you'll be able to shoot turkeys too!!

pointer, sorry buddy, but in my county them turkeys are archery only... Did see a helluva gobbler I kicked off the roost Sun. am.


maddog

Well there goes that plan. Sounds like you need one of those 10-22 arrow barrels...

Gonna try it again this weekend (Sunday). Getting some much needed rain and the temps are supposed to drop. We'll see!

SWEEEEET! You could use the 10/22 to drill pilot holes in deer, then use thearrow barrel to kill them legally in archery season!
