Season has been open since mid month here in TN. I live on 30 acres of pecan groves and mixed hardwoods. Naturally overloaded with them. If our tenant is home, no squirrel or raccoon hunting, she’s a wildlife rehabber. The neighboring 19 acres is an orchard we sold in 2019. Mostly Eastern Grays, but have been seeing Red Squirrels and Fox Squirrels as well.
My late Beagle was absolutely a born squirrel dog. Poppy hated squirrels almost as much as she hated Canade Geese. Regular 13” Beagle, worked her on a long line most of the time. If she was on a leash and saw a goose in the pond, I was going swimming whether I wanted to or not. Had to rescue her from 40’ off the ground one time, she went up a wind felled widowmaker after a squirrel.
Been finding dead squirrels and chipmunks on the front porch. Tenant’s cat “trades” them for Fancy Feast Tuna Gravy Lovers.
