.....started Sunday. The boy came up and we headed to the woods about daybreak. It was beautiful in the woods, and NO MOSQUITOS!!! They haven't started really hitting the nuts yet, and I only saw 1. Two shots, but I got the ole girl. Went out yesterday, Saw 3, and shot at 2 different ones, and missed em both! Dam*ed eyes and old age..... The boy got one on Sunday, also.
Changed my mind, and went for about 2 1/2 hrs., before it started getting too hot. Saw 2 and nailed 1 with my good ole single shot H&R Sportster. 1 shot, and DRT.
Looks like a great time. Squirrel season starts September 15th in my home state. One of these years I’d like to go down to Indiana and try a dove opener.
Cool been twenty years since I hunted tree squirrel.. Sure miss it.. Enjoy..
WCH I got it from a pretty good source that theres a bunch of red fox squirrels on the public land out of Lovell on Bighorn Lake.In the cottonwoods of course. If you get in therefor a look, let me know. Here they are considered an invasive specie, so no closed season and no limit....but most of them live in town or on the Powder river.

The boys have killed ten so far. They haven’t been out much due to the heat. All gray squirrels and all out of hickories. Fried em’ up and threw them in the oven for a couple of hours covered in cream of mushroom soup. Fine vittles!!

Finally got to go this am, since it cooled off some. Popped one with my single shot .22, not 5 mins. after I hit the woods. One shot, straight down, but I couldn't find him in the weeds. Two hrs. later, I came by the same tree, heading for the truck. Walked under the tree from a different direction, and there laid the lil booger. He died closer to the tree, than I thought. Oh well, I'd rather be lucky than good any day.
