Opening day of squirrel season..

[VTdeerhunter]

Great hunt guys, glad you had fun :thumbsup: ...we can't hunt the bushy tails for 15 more days...but me and the boy are ready to start our yearly friendly competition. The one with the most squirrels each day gets to sit and watch the other do the skinning :wink: of course he get's to have a cold beverage and give all sorts of helful advice to the skinner as well :haha:

 

[Silex]

Thanks everybody for the wishes and the envy...


Lorren68 - good luck on the weekend.
I was pretty happy that Roy could make it happen since my gun is not fit for shooting as you know.


Now I get the idea why this squirrel thing is addictive - I had a very good time and it's always good to get to met new friends.

Roy, thank you again!!

Guess what I'll have for dinner tonight ...

Silex :grin:

Squirrel season started on the 15th here. I can't wait to get out there with my rifle!

 

[Stumpkiller]

Good on you Roy and congratulations Silex.

Hopefully you both had time to enjoy the fruits of your labor in a stewpot along with a good lager or two. :hatsoff:

 

[Silex]

Unfortunately, not together, because Roy was packing for the CLA show.
I am very thankful that he took the time to take me out. It was wonderful time and I learned a lot. Now a lot of things I read here on the forum about squirrel hunting make sense to me - not that I would be able to apply this at home. Believe it or not: no squirrel hunting in Germany.

Actually I enjoyed a lager (or two) along with the meal. I kinda experimented with the recipe (not a full kitchen and supplies in a hotel): parboiled them until tender than stripped and shortly fried/browned them in butter with some salt, cayenne pepper and a drop of honey - would have preferred maple syrup but didn't want to buy a whole bottle.

Yumm - I am afraid - I'll have to do this again :grin:

Wow.
Thanks for the photo.
And so it begins, another hunting season.

I am looking forward to all the stories and photos.

:thumbsup: I wish we had more time and could have made more of a day of it..

 

[Roy]

I was just teasing.
You look very happy. Must have had a good time.

:haha:

Sorry been away for the last couple days. It was fun. :thumbsup:

Normally for two people I will serve 3-4 squirrels depending on size... of course this also depends on what I am serving them with. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: I wish we had more time and could have made more of a day of it..

you'll have to get him on some pigs too next time. :thumbsup:

 

[Silex]

I'm really glad you did squeeze it in - it was a wonderful time - and probably a once in a lifetime thing for me...
Whenever you get across the pond give me a shout, we might be able to arrange something, too.

The other part though is - he did a good job on letting me use Jane - now the looks, that weight or lack thereof and balance makes you start thinking :thumbsup:

[Moose Guide]

Good job Silex, thats a fine looking brace of squirrels

 

[S.Kenton]

Ohios' season for squirrel isn't til the beginning of September...I've been chomping at the bit to get at it! Even more so now!
Congrats!

 

[Roy]

I will probably go out again either this evening or tomorrow.. :grin: They are in the Hickory trees now so sort of easy to locate them.

 

[vern faulkner]

We here in Pa. must wait till mid-October to start hunting squirrels, however Dove season opens the first of September.

Funny how the squirrel seasons differ in various parts of the country. :hmm:
It opens in mid-May down in Oklahoma and June up here in Kansass.

 

[Roy]

Dove is on the 1st here too
