Arkansas squirrel opener

Here in Virginia, I have to wait until August. I have a new to me 1860's era 13ga. SxS. I just finished tuning the locks and it is considerably lighter than either my CVA 12ga or Pedersoli 12ga double. Can't wait...

You're good to go next weekend unless you can only hunt National Forest Land.

Congrats on a good squirrel! Lots of meat on a big fox squirrel.

I'm not sure it is grammatically correct to use those four words together in the same sentence...is it???

Nothing a little time in the pressure cooker can't take care of! Enjoy!!!

These skinning jigs turned out pretty well, all in all. Modifications needed are to enlarge the openings of the leg slots another 1/8" while keeping the thin ending point the same. This would allow the legs to start into a those cutouts smoother.

Also, on the small Grey squirrels we shot, the tail holding slot in the middle was a tad too wide at times, permitting the tail bone to pull through. Yet, this was still much quicker than slitting the skin across the back or stepping on the tail. Everything was hung at chin level. Easy to work with.

I shot two more squirrels Saturday evening in Northern Kentucky, a young fox squirrel and a Grey. They both were amazingly easier to remove the hide than those Grey's my son and I killed in Southern Kentucky. Regional differences, I suppose.

I wonder if its diet or time of year?
