    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    A dog can be a real help or not so much. Sometimes, depending on several factors, we do better without him/her. But I know how it is: they seem to know when we are going hunting, and then we have to decide how firm we can be and live with ourselves. It's a matter of the heart - yours and the...

    Nice job. Simple yet as effective as any. I'd have no issues with carrying that to range or woods. To

I'm as kind as the next person, but if range rules permit black powder guns on their rifle range and they have no b/p only range, then I am entitled as anyone else to shoot there.

He ran spewing blood onto the snow on both sides of his...

    tick treatment

    My prayer already lifted. I never sat that lightly. A dog can get into our hearts so easily. Because I'm old, I've lost no few and each time it's an unforgettable trial. BTW, I dearly love beagles. Very loving and gentle. A child's true friend.

    Woodsrunner CNC Incised Carving

    Just me, but the WR looks less "woodsy" if carved. I'm no history expert and I don't even have a WR.

    tick treatment

    I've not seen a tic or chigger since I moved to FL 8 years ago. But FL is not a woodsman's paradise. I pour a bucket of ticks on my head if I could go back to the mountains.

    Squirrel Hunting Attire

    Just earth tones for me. Squirrels definitely shy away from yellow and white.
