Perfect Squirrel Afternoon.

[Skychief]

Today was one of those days that any squirrel hunter looks forward to.

A cold front and some rain passed yesterday, leaving the air cool and the leaves wet for a quiet trek through the woods.

The blue skies were enjoyed with two friends inside of the hardwoods of Southern Indiana.

I was happy to take a limit of five with my fowling piece with just as many shots. The Skychief Special loading continues to impress! :thumbsup:

Did I mention how much I'm enjoying this flintlock "fowler" in the field? I'M ENJOYING IT!!!!! :haha:

Good luck to you all, Skychief. :hatsoff:

Good for you man. Sounds like you're having a great year. Still have yet to get out in the bushytail woods. Hoping to change that this weekend.

Great! Going to try and get out into the woods next weekend.

Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day. Nice when the woods are damp and quiet like that.

I was doing some quiet, slow-moving deer scouting for new stand location yesterday and had squirrels all over! Kicked up a dandy 10 pt too. No gun shooting this time of year on the lease, so wasn't hunting as well, but it would have been an "easy" limit if I could. Fun to just mess with them by squeaking and chattering at them a bit at very close range. This time of year they seem so much more at ease. Once the leaves drop, they seem to get a lot more spooky even without human hunting activity earlier in the season.

I so miss hunting bushytails with my flintlock!

I still want to thunt them in every state that has a season! It's on my to-do-list!
