Yep, I sure do! I can tie a lot of flies off of a squirrel pelt and tail! I send mine off to the tanners I then cut zonker strips some I dye orange black, olive! It costs a little like all things but its worth the price for me! And its one of my favorite game meats too!

Nice rifles FPX.I have this model that's still NIB.I received a certificate with it that entitled me to receive a copy of a book about Kimber when it was published.Apparently the book never came to fruition.When I retire this rifle will be used.

Squirrel! My favorite season. Generally use a 16 gauge double or Browning 22LR. Been hunting them since the early 60s starting with a Remington 514 and then a savage 24 in 20 ga/22LR.

Our season has been open for about 10 days, and there has only been three worth trying to hunt, between heat, humidity and RAIN!

Season opens early, (WAY TOO HOT!!) but stays open after deer season, so pre-season scouting with a rifle and squirrel, and post season, in the cold with a rifle and squirrel. It's a win-win.
My weapon of choice a SAKO Quad 22 LR, Leupold Rimfire 2-7.

Rainy days and squirrel hunting really go together, as long as it's not windy. Them stupid squirrels love to come out in the rain.

Stick selection is pretty important, after you get 6 or 7 of them on there, stick wants to bend some... I have an old newspaper bag, like the boys that delivered carried them in, that I carry Squirrels in. You can load front and back to balance it out. Dyed it green. I doubt if you can get them any more, but I went to the newspaper office and bought 2 back in the 80's, I think a medium, and gave 1 to a friend. Most that I ever carried in it was 17. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

most years we'll make a couple of hunts with the .32 & .36 muzzleloaders, but last year i got caught up in deer hunting pretty heavy, and didn't squirrel hunt as much. started shooting a .40 flinter this year, so this year it'll get into the woods a few times. couple with the .32 TC Cherokee:

I posted the link a couple days ago, but here it is along with some embelishments. http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/wild-chef/2012/02/new-england-style-cream-based-squirrel-chowderI also add a can of whole kernel corn, and a can of mushroom slices. If you want it slightly sweeter, replace the half and half with a can of condensed milk. maddog
