Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Maddog's 2014 limb chicken thread........

Ole Dex weighs about 13-14 lbs. Yes, that was a huge fox squirrel. Just guessing, somewhere over 3 lbs.

Not sure what you meant about "the clear" or "the cream".


maddog

Just alittle steroid, baseball, Barry Bonds joke

No matter. Id of thought he weighed at least 5lbs.

Man, nice one, none the less.

Ahh, now I get it. Yes that ole dude coulda been onsteroids, cept his thingy hadn't shrunk....just sayin'....



maddog

Prolly got that big from pumpin' big hickory nuts....

Speaking of BIG fox squirrels, here is some pics of some of the biggest I've shot in the last three years. Every one of these would be over 3 lbs.

Glad they aren't any bigger, or I'd have to get a power winch to load em in the truck!


maddog

Didn't weigh it, but we got one when I was a kid that measured 21 inches from nose to base of tail. The tail added another 10 inches for a SOAL of 31 inches.
Biggest one I can remember till I got to Ga. and shot a couple Giant Fox Squirrels.
Theres a reason they are nicknamed 'cat squirrels'.

dang MD, them are some bigguns. Heck, even the gravy would be tough.

It is, unless ya pressure cook it......


maddog

Heading out the door, in a few minutes, with ole Dexter, for a frosty am adventure looking for limb chickens..... Will report back later. ps: he's excited!


maddog

Well, Dex and I had quite a morning, just no squirrels in the bag. he actually did tree one, and I saw it go up the tree. Time I got to the area for a shot, he'd gotten in a hole.

Then, he saw a big buck trotting thru the woods, and site ran the hell out of him. Couple minutes later he was back at my side. Thank gawd, mama woulda shot me if her little baby got lost...


maddog

Lord, you got tree hogs. Limb bacon is more like.

Try doing them up pulled pork style?

Got out for a couple hours this am. Shot two fryers and a stewer out of one pecan and got another stewer and fryer a half hour later.

Lots of pecans and beechnuts but real small acorn crop down here. It's
throwing off the deer patterns.

You need a good collar system. Get in touch if you want one.
Son, wifey, and I are headed out after the squirrels this morn. First time for her this year. Got a 870 28g that's poison on squirrels.

Good luck today, schoolmarm. As far as ole Dex is concerned, he's our house dog, and I'm not serious in making him a squirrel dog. It's just fun to take him to the woods once in a while, mostly for the laughs! He's just a house dog, but fun to be with.


maddog

we ended up with 7. Maw got her first one. Weren't moving too good. Headed to the Mississippi river delta lease for black squirrels this weekend.

Get pics! Im jealous of the black squirrels!


Just got my first crock pot squirrel this morning! One more and it'll be time for Pot Pies!

Ran across two guys from Arkansas today up here in the Missouri Ozark's squirrel hunting with dogs. Evidently they make the trip every year. They had about a dozen in the sack, needed eight more for a limit here.

Maddog, i have a picture of my son with the tree rat, but its on my phone. I dont know how to make it go to my PC from the phone. Let me call the Tech and see if she can make it work.

Here ya go Maddog. My little guy LOVING the bushytail hunting.

SWEET! Way cool pic


maddog

Well, went this am, to a place I hadn't been to all season. It has both fox and gray squirrels. Dumbed around, and got one. My first gray of the year. Woulda shot straighter, shoulda had two more......








I'll say one thing, them little grays are a dang site easier to clean than those fox squirrels. If I can, gonna hit it a lick tomorrow.
