Glad ya got out there, Ed.
It's good to hear that the sight problem was the sight and not your new lenses. Hope that your site continues to improve. It's a good thing that ya found ya a decent spot to hunt. Hoping to get out this weekend and do some squirrel hunting. I should be deer hunting but the public lands have been hit hard. I feel most bucks went nocturnal. I thought about take my double barrel shotgun and load one up with #6 and the other one with buck shot, just incase a shootable buck walks by.

Thanks. I’m not sure just how good this new place might be but I’m going to find out. There are quite a few squirrels in there for a fact.

Much of hunting is about location, IMO. You can’t kill them if they aren’t there. After finding them then it’s up to us to do our part properly.

You're right about that.
After all we must do our part!

Winds for the next three days. The weekend isn’t supposed to be much better. Check out the forecasted wind gusts. No squirrel hunting for ETipp.

Just plan sad.

Yep, wind and squirrel hunting don’t go together. Hang in there Ed, it’s got to get better!

I had a good morning today in my new favorite spot. It was a calm( sorry Ed), cool morning. Squirrel activity was high.

I’ve been hunting a lot this year. I’ve been keeping a journal. This was day 35. Most days I just hunt mornings then go work in my shop.

This new area has lots of hickories and there are some still in the trees although most activity is on the ground now.

I have a funeral to attend tomorrow and bad weather the rest of the week. Monday looks ok. Family coming Tuesday for Thanksgiving then our rifle season starts the Saturday following thanksgiving. No squirrel hunting allowed during the two weeks of rifle season.

So it looks like I might only get out once more before then.

I’ve had a great season so far and look forward to getting after them again in a few weeks.

You guys will have to keep me entertained in the mean time.
