Same in East TennesseeDown here I'll be dealing with
Ticks/Chiggers/Mosquitos/Snakes...
Oh My!
Actually by that time they'll be the size of a beetle. The Pleistocene is when mammals were megafauna. That era squirrel was a Kopiodon. It was about a yard long, weighed five pounds, and had saber-like canine teeth for defense and battle (molars for eating plants and nuts). Probably the size of a big boar racoon, but a little longer.20,203 squirrel season!?! That far in the future, the squirrels may be the size of bears! We will have rayguns, hopefully…..
That would be an interesting hunt there.Actually by that time they'll be the size of a beetle. The Pleistocene is when mammals were megafauna. That era squirrel was a Kopiodon.

I'll eat them stewed in a crockpot, but I have tried my whole life to like fried squirrel, and I just don't. I quit bothering with tree rats a long time ago. Now I only care about them if they eat my tomatoes, and in hot years when that happens I am much more of a genocidal exterminator than a hunter. Gammo, break style, .177 ballistic tip, 3-9X, 1275fps...lights out.

Here in Tennessee they are the state bird. Saw one carrying a poodle away the other day.Skeeters are one thing I seldom have to deal with in these parts, thank God. I hate those things.
Where in Kentucky are you that you seldom have to deal with skeeters?Skeeters are one thing I seldom have to deal with in these parts, thank God. I hate those things.
Where would that be?Mine is open now ! I have couple of problems before i can go. Ticks/Chiggers/Heat. Yup as noted by the Gum Slough, skeeters, snakes. If i was at home in the Delta you could add gators to the list.
Ed is just east of the Cumberland lake on the north end. He likes the steep hilly country.Where in Kentucky are you that you seldom have to deal with skeeters?
Mo. Once they open the Spring season it stays open til Feb.Where would that be?
I’d opt for my .45 on those just to be sure.That would be an interesting hunt there.
Make sure you DRT that critter on the first shot, or it might be hawk time. As to the 45 that's great but I want big balls to tap that critter in more than one way.I’d opt for my .45 on those just to be sure.
