Anybody going after January squirrels?

[Robert Egler]

Absolutely! Now all those dang deer hunters are out of my squirrel woods! :haha:

Chuckled this morning...didn't go due to the rain but had 3-4 of them under the bird feeder outside the kitchen window

Roundball just open the window and shoot! My darn dogs keep the squirrels away from the house or I would have myself some fried squirrel.

Yep, just as soon as this weekend's final two days of deer season ends!

So I could've bayoneted three squirrels on Friday, but I waited and got a doe as planned. I think maybe I will carry a slingshot in deer season in the future... OH and NOW it's squirrel season again!

Headed out tomorrow to try and bust some squirrels and hogs over the weekend.

Hunted deep in a Florida swamp where odd OLD Live Oaks still live. This old guy was MASSIVE...

Saturday was stormy...

Sunday was better...

Saw lots of deer, and a few hogs that didn't give me any chance for a shot. It was a fun weekend.

Outstanding !!!
There are more squirrels in your photos than I've SEEN during Nov - Dec deer season !!

Unfortunately, no Sunday hunting here.
But I'm all geared up for a 5:00am alarm tomorrow (Monday) and planning to be there at first light.

(What I have to watch out for though is when the electric blanket hears the 5:00am alarm, senses temps in the 20's, with a 10mph wind, its been known to get very protective...LOL)

Quick report. Three greys taken today. A few missed. One red taken. Thinking it was a grey ( tail twit hing in the fir boughs). Poor little guy. Wrong place wrong time Meat frozen for later use And...........my buddy who "came for a walk". Shot his first flintlock squirrel when i handed him my fowler. Pretty cool

Three greys taken with fowler today, last one as he was midair between trees. Brought a smile to my face. Only one bb in a hind quarter for all of them. Good luck

My brother took two with his with his pedersoli sxs.

Sounds like you have plenty around...good deal !


I brought in my last couple of blinds and a ladder stand today...will get all the gear cleaned up and squared away tomorrow, and 2013 deer season will be history.
After deer hunting non-stop since November 2nd, I need a week to catch up on some inside projects, then hope it warms up some. I like mornings best but have no interest in getting up before dark in below freezing weather for a squirrel...with any luck the following week might be warmer and I may be able to get back out before February after all, we'll see.

Congratulations on a good day...
