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

[ETipp]

I was thinking to try one to eat.. shoot a couple around the house and not in the woods.. Grey squirrel..

There just allot of them in the yard..

I counted 8 from my back steps yesterday.

Can you please send me your address?
Things are getting slow around here.

Good luck today to Jim, Tom and anyone else going squirrel hunting. Looks like I’ll be out there, too. Not satisfied finding a place to bow hunt. So, I’ll be scouting more today. Taking Mr. Crockett along.

Good luck Ed, I'll be going tomorrow morning. Wife is going to do a few things with the granddaughter.

Google AI. That just surprised me that's the spot.

To mount one... id probably ask permission to trap a couple. Set the traps.. then find a place to deer hunt around.

They have those all black squirrels.

I only saw them in MI.

Only place I've seen them.. just driven threw town. There was one in every yard.

I didn't see any in the woods.

I've seen them when deer hunting in upstate PA.

I’ve been one of those proud PETA people all my life.

Yep. Thats the right one.

If I catch one of those pretty ones I'm going to send it live to Jim. That way it will get kilt right ️

This pic is for Fred. He asked me to take a pic of the next squirrel I get next to a dollar bill so he could compare the size of the KY squirrels to a Florida squirrel. I would reckon this one is the average size gray squirrel here.

I hope this helps.

JimK, this one is a female. First female I’ve gotten in a while. I hope you don’t think I’m gay or anything like that.

Fred, I’m breaking in my new knife.

Thanks Ed.

I really like my new knife, Fred. Thank you again for such a great gift. Please tell Myrtle that she did good and I appreciate it. Good luck in the morning.

You see, a good knife for this ole boy is like a good friend. Spend as much time as you can with them until the end. Neither one will last forever. I don’t give two hoots in hell what happens when I’m gone. Every time I use this knife, I will think of my good friend Fred, and Myrtle. Neither one of you have I met but that don’t matter.

Me thinks there just might be a little problem with that, cruiser, but good luck anyway.

Would be bigger if you hadn't shot most of his head off! Not very big . I think it's a southern thing. The ones I've seen around my daughters place in SC are pretty small.

Maybe like deer. The farther north the bigger the deer.

Ed I feel the same way My Friend. Kinda how I feel about my Crockett Rifle. You gave some real good info on it before I bought it, so it's kinda like hunting with you about 800 miles away.

Keep shoot'in and a Skinn'em Ed.

Dang it Ed! Now I'm forced to take mine and use it. I was afraid to take it to the woods for fear of losing it. I'm going to take it on my next outing and skin one with it in honor of FDH, my brother from another mother, and Ms. Myrtle. But just once. I have a bad habit of losing things in the woods.

Got a package from TOTW today (late of course). Now I have everything I need to shoot my new to me 36 caliber flinch lock. I was hoping to have photos with a target and full range report. Fred, saw a picture of her and named her Sadie. So Sadie she will be. With any luck I will get her to the range in the next few days now that I have a decent RR, and some flints. I will make a proper introduction then.
