Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game 30 days til 'limb chicken" season.......

By chance did see any rabbits just me on that.grin

Found some hickories being cut on yesterday...

The hickories were full, where I went scouting, however I didn't notice any cuttings yesterday. With 11 days to go before the season, I expect them to be hitting them, by then.

Mike...if you need any help on all that new property....

( I have Dec.14-Jan.14 off......)

IF you get back here....I got plenty of places to hunt! Picked up 10 new ones for this season, on top of the places I had last year!

I might haft make a special trip! Dont know what Im gonna do with all that time off....

just put a new scope on my little 77/22. REady for some limb rats

We always found them cutting on beech trees early in central Indiana and then Oaks later.

Pugs, up where I'm at in NW Indiana, there are very few beech trees where I hunt. I think they'll be in the hickories and oaks over the next 2 weeks.

Anyone use a dog to help the get.the squirrels on their side of the tree?

I have occasionally used Gus to move a squirrel for me. But mostly, dogs just chase squirrels into holes, so I don't find it works very well for me.

Interesting. I was south of Indy and hunted Morgan/Johnson and Monroe counties in my youth and we didn't have many hickories but there always seemed to be a couple good size beech around. I hunted a lot of bottom lands though which may have had something to do with that.

Being in the bottoms was part of the reason. The other part is the 'rough' part of the state where you were, maple and beech are historically the dominant trees. North of Indy, oaks and hickories are the dominants. I have a couple of big beeches on my property that I hope to be sitting under sometime in early Aug. Like you my grandpa says they'll hit the beeches first then on to the hickories/oaks.

Well boys, down to 4 days left before squirrel season opens. Seems like yesterday I was jonesing about 6 1/2 mos. til limb chicken time again.....

You suck....

My Dad taught his dog to respond to hand signals to turn the squirrels.

Here's a good squirrel rifle. It's a 10-22 with Walther barrel, Clark and Volquartsen trigger parts used to create a great trigger, even has a trigger stop. It's one of the best 10-22 triggers I've ever felt. It has a 3-9 rimfire Leupold and a can. The most noise is the bolt closing and the bullet strike. I use Subsonic HP's. Air rifles make more noise than this one.

10-22 is sighted in, opener is September 14th.

Even got the bait ready.

Dangit DF, you got more neat "toys" than anybody I know. One of these days I'm going to ease over your way and check them out. That's as fine of a limbrat getter as I've ever seen..
