Tossed the 22 in the truck before work this A.M. After work I took a walk on the edge of some woods. There's a narrow tractor trail along the woods with standing corn in the field. 30 minutes and 5 squirrels, that's cheating. I could have gotten more, but 5 was enough. The woods are loaded with squirrel, almost no one hunts them anymore. These are fox squirrels, we never see greys around here.

The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

A lot of kids will never know how fun it is.

He probably just sneaks up on them and shoots them...no need to warn or "prepare" them for what's coming. Y'all do it different in Montana?

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

I killed six greys in just over an hour yesterday. Used to run into other squirrel and rabbit hunters afield all the time 40 years ago. Never anymore. If it ain't got antlers or a beard to hang on the wall and brag about, folks ain't interested anymore.

I used to look forward to the first day of squirrel almost as much, if not more than deer. rain or shine. i would hunt all day or long enough to get my limit. kind of lost the passion so to speak within the past 5-6 or so years. still get out 2-3 times a season. usually don't even take a shot. everybody talks about how great squirrel is. eh. i eat them but i wouldn't order them at arbys.

JC got his squirrels trained to drink Worcestershire sauce so they're already marinated from the inside out 🤣

Young of the year are good battered and fried. Older ones make good squirrel gravy and biscuits. I don't like them as good as cottontail but they are tasty if prepared right.

I have a couple of friends that have trained squirrel dogs. Hunting with them is a blast.
