Thanks fellas. It isn’t much and definitely not the one I’ve been looking for, but she is groceries and she will make do for now. A couple more and I’ll be done then back to full throttle squirrel hunting.
Nice job on the doe Ed looks like a older deer with that long nose, she'll be good eaten.
Finely got out with my S×S looking for squirrel and pheasant, walking on the edge of a corn field next to the trees. I had pheasants getting up 50 to 100 yards out but nothing closer, but I seen this guy trying to hide in the crotch of a cottonwood tree 70gr. 2f 1 1/8 ounce of number 5 shot works pretty good on squirrel. Got a shot on another one a couple hundred yards farther down, I know I hit him I could tell by the way he acted, but he crawled farther up and I couldn't see him. I sat for half an hour hoping to see some movement or anything else. I don't know if there is a den up there or he was laying in a crotch but either way I didn't get him.
Big foot carrying a GPR!
This is some of that old school camo I was telling you all about. The pic was taken at twilight so it’s not in color. Critters see me but don’t know what to think. I blend right in with the freshly fallen leaves. This stuff really works well.
Yesterday while out scouting, I was wearing some other old school camo and I had two different squirrels within 15-18 feet of me. One came down a tree and was heading straight towards me. I froze because there was nothing else I could do. The squirrel would hop a few steps towards me, stop and raise up on his hind feet, look, then got closer. He finally went up a tree about 8 feet away. He never knew what I was and he was not alarmed.

She'll make fine back straps and tacos! I'll raise my glass of amber liquid in your honor around sundown.
Keeping an eye on things.
Well, after hunting, shooting, dragging and cutting up meat you deserve a good dose of innard oil Amigo. I still got choreing to do. I'll have to play catch up laterThanks, Tom.

By all means friend
When I hunt the family farm their not so spooky, but today I was hunting public land and they get hunted pretty hard.I thought them NODAK ringnecks were so tame they'd fly right into your game pouch? Least that's what they fellas I used to hunt with in Nebraska would say. Or was it SODAK?Glad to read ya had a good day Duk.
Some of the public land is like a war zone, you get hunters walking fields from every direction.I can imagine. I haven't hunted pheasant in 25+ years. Mostly stocked birds here, and the DNR lets out where they are putting birds out. Gets dangerous quick. I'll sit in the woods and hunt something else
Jim, I want to say that the feeling is mutual, in terms of all the great folks on here across the nation that likes to share stories and information about squirrel hunting. I cherish correlating with everyone in this thread. I've never met any of you all but I certainly would like to do so some day. A good lot you all are.
