ETipp, 100%.
I too am guilty of straying off course.
I also, feel, I am guilty of reply and posting comments with out looking at both side of the coin. I may have interpreted the OP meaning. I do apologize for this.

I love this Squirrel Hunting Thread and would hate to see it go away. I remember when it first started. I looked forward to reading it every day. I learned a good amount from this thread, and had some great laughs.

Thanks for bringing this up.

for Squirrel Hunting The Traditional Way!!!!

Fellas, this is not aimed at anyone specifically. As you know, I am not a moderator. However, I, as well as some others, have been a little concerned about this thread navigating off course a bit too far. My concern is that if it becomes too far off subject that moderator action might result. We have a great squirrel hunting thread going here with some great members. There's tons of great squirrel hunting information within. I would hate to see this thread go away. There's just so much to be learned in this thread about squirrel hunting that benefits us all.

With that said, I too have been guilty of steering off course a little. I do believe that its okay to post a little bit about other critters and other things, but we really should limit it. We should also limit the discussion of unmentionables.

I'm not trying to be a boss nor unfriendly, but I do believe we should cut back posting on things unrelated to squirrel hunting before the mods come in to clean it up. The last thing we need is to become a problem to the moderators.

I won't Hammer you, I hunted with my muzzleloading scatter guns and will continue. I have a sweet little CVA Brittany double barrel .410 and I'm itching to use it. I will also try my .58 Smoothbore later this year. I will admit that hunting squirrels with a small caliber PRB is very exciting and reward.

So load up up that Muzzleloading Scatter gun and get ya some
"Chicken of the Tree"

Best to ya!!!

Anyone hunting them in the mountains? I mean western mountains. Curious if the Aberts squirrels are any good eating? I only know one guy that said he tried eating one & it tasted like a pine tree… yuck! I’m looking forward to getting out with the .32 for some rabbits & squirrels. They can be pretty sporadic in the high country. Plenty of walking and very little shooting.
