Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Only killing male squirrels

I have come across something odd this year, I have been out three times hunting the same woods and have killed 11 squirrel, and every one has been a male. It is very warm for September here in Ohio and I have shot every one of them cutting hickory. Strange coincidence or did I stumble into a gay woods for squirrels .

Tree Rat Sausage Fest! That is odd...

Maybe the ladies are too afraid to dine in that neighborhood? Sounds like it might be pretty rough on a girl that strayed into that hickory grove.

So far I have shot 14 males, I figured the odds of that are 8126-1 . Something just odd about that

You do say your hunt in Ohio, odds are in favor of the gay woods.

I try like hell to avoid killing the big nutted bastards. Takes time to identify and really limits how many I kill but I am fine with that.

. I sometimes pass on them but I plan on canning these so I don’t think they will taste any different .

. I guess I better stay out of there the potential exists I could cut myself and become [bleep] by the blood transfer .

So, where do you find a place to hunt them in Ohio if you don't know a landowner? Does ohio have any public land?

They're all good in a pot of squirrel gravy and dumplins. I use the young of the year for frying, the rest go in gravy.

You know how to tell if a squirrel in top of a tree is male or female?

You shake the tree and listen for the nuts to rattle.

Don, There is good public hunting in Ohio one place I hunt is near the town on Nellie its on state route 715 and is called Mohawk Dam recreational area. If you want to try it out PM me and I can give you some directions .
