Here in Montana squirrels are not a game animal so there is no closed season on them.
I was having a very good hunting season one year back in the early '80s. I had shot a mule deer buck, a pronghorn antelope buck, a bull elk, and either a Sirias bull moose or a Bighorn ram, all on DIY hunts within 100 miles of my home. After those hunts my copy of Outdoor Life was in the mailbox. The cover story for that month was about some guy who had opening day jitters for squirrel season. Sorry squirrel hunters, but after that I couldn't get excited about Outdoor Life any more and I didn't renew my subscription.
