    If y'all want a good laugh over breakfast, put this USPS tracking number in and follow it's route since it left Kibler's: 9405511105501748350574 It was shipped "next day". Notice it got to within 5 miles of my house in HSV before taking off on it's scenic tour of Yankee land.

    Last I heard my Kibler .36 squirrel rifle kit left Buffalo NY enroute to Rochester (sigh).

    I.e. it might take 2 squirrels to get 1 good mount. Blow front off one and back off other?

    He told me dont gut it or get it wet. Just bag it and freeze it asap or at least put it on ice.

    The question is, how to you bag one for mounting? A head shot would be a crime.

    I already discussed it with my taxidermist guy - I'm mounting a fox squirrel if I can get one... Ever since I was a small boy they fascinated me. I think I told this in here before - I cornered a baby one on a limb 50 feet up in a loblolly, and was reaching out to grab him, and he did a swan...

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

    I recently saw 2 of the classic Alabama fox squirrels with the black heads and white ears and noses, crossing the road side by side right in front of me, after I crossed North in my truck thru the Tumlin Gap. It's a beautiful coloration variant, is it not? Physically larger than the typical...

    @Cooleys is one of the prettiest ash-stocked longrifles I have ever seen: THREAD I wonder if any of the original Hawkens were ash stocked 🤔.

    Well, $h!t fire and save the matches, why stop there? Add a few more on, Tarzan. 14-15 pounds sound good to you? 20 better? I'll bet you walk around squirrel hunting with a chunk gun, and eat 'em raw with the fur on 'em. Just kidding, don't get mad 🤣.

    Eric, It's always existed around Huntsville/Decatur/Athens to small extent, probably due to the annual flintlock hunt on Wheeler NWR: Isn't it interesting that a federal agency is encouraging and promoting flintlocks?

    Raining cats and dogs here. Just checked..., yeah, only cats and dogs and the occasional ground hog - no squirrels.

    NO... uh-uh... I just don't think Bill would do that to me. I've known him for 25 years. He only cuts for people he knows. I'm going to ask him about that..,
