Good Morning, ETipp.
I would really like to hunt them dark hardwoods of KY. Mountains, I sure it would be great time and adventure on my behalf.
Grew up hunting in West Central Illinois.
Reclaimed strip mines, open fields, and some nice hardwoods flat and hilly.
As far as Florida, it was different, but after 39 years I have a special feeling for it. The past few years I've rekindled my love of Squirrel Hunting.
Take care.

Gum, there's just something special about slipping around the mountains and dark hardwoods of the southeast, hunting gray squirrels with a .32 Muzzleloader that, despite my better efforts, I have not been able to fully explain. IMO, its a real challenge, a test of ones hunting skills, patience, marksmanship, and some luck. Despite the ticks, bugs, snakes, heat and humidity (other than winter), it is the most enjoyable and rewarding hunting I have ever done. Something about being in all camo, slipping around and sending that patched .310 round ball up in the trees and hitting such a small target that is unexplainable for this ole boy.
I've killed my fair share of deer, even elk, with muzzleloaders, but all in all, gray squirrel hunting with my Crockett Squirrel rifle is my favorite.
But that's just me.
