Squirrel Hunting Thread

Post your pics here......Yaz......the ones you shoot with your 12 guage......please dont post those pics

Weed....our perfect head shots with a 22 are the kind of pics we are looking for:)

No problem!

DP, the day you see me carrying a scattergun in the squirrel woods, would be like the day you see me packing an Xgun in the deer woods.......ain't happinin'! . I'm gonna miss the squirrel opener this year. Be on the road home from Port Orange/Daytona.....dropping my son at school for his Masters.

Had it out in May......it could shoot the eyeball out of one :p
Haters gonna hate!!!!
The older generations just cant embrace change!!!!!

What the....

Not hating at all DP. I merely stated what MY preferences are! BTW- isn't that gun vice awful heavy and cumbersome to get into a tree???? :p

lol.....no shooting vice needed in the tree......just a shooting rail in EVERY stand

If the water don't recede in your area by Oct.1, you'll need a bow fishing outfit on the xbow to deer hunt with!!!! Better get it set up, and recheck that scope!!!! Choot 'em, and reel 'em in!!!
NOTE: be sure to have your harness on, and strapped to the tree good before you start reeling!!!

Or i may have to come down and hunt your place

Come on down….I have the PEEEEERFECT place for you!!!!!!

The cattle pond??

Yep!!! on top of the muskrat hut!!!!

No prob........ill bring my waders

Don't waste any money on scent wafers..

Lol now that is funny!!!!

And if my pet bull Bobo comes by with love in his eye….best be dropping those waders……..he might get angry!!!!!! For reference…..this IS his happy face!!!!

He likes scratched between the ears....just once..LOL!!

Easy now........

My ruger 10/22 can change his mind :p

You'd never get past the guard dog...

Carry on....

Bastid....

Meanwhile in Indiana....

You got THAT right!

Well..... who is going this weekend? We are going to give it a shot.

I guess i need to try out thermacell......otherwise......i will get eaten alive.......everywhere i go:(

I'll be out there. It's kind of the traditional beginning of hunting season in general!!! Got my xgun sighted in.......

I always go opening day and usually shoot a limit. Ive got a lot of shag bark hickory trees in my woods and they are loaded this year. The challenge is take one 5 round clip of .22 and kill 5 squirrels, all head shots. Can you hear me Luke? :p h.h.

I'm gonna try it somewhere!

I was hoping to have a .32 loader by now to squirrel hunt with but didn't happen.

Thermacells will be going strong!!!!

Weed, Morgan/Monroe.... just watch out for the timber rattlers!!!

DNR has warned of them in there this yr!

That's what you're for!

I think I am more excited than Luke!! Bring on Saturday!!!

^^^^^awwwwww yeah......stoked to get back in the squirrel woods^^^^^^

Squirrels and snakes....let's do it!!

I heard there are a lot of squirrels in rattlesnake holler : h.h.

Was out in the woods doing some deer stuff today and saw 2 fox squirrels cutting on a hickory!!! Come on August 15th:)

Good luck and be safe tomorrow!!! Can't wait to see how everyone did. HH - Luke is only loading 5 bullets.

im coming for ya boy

BUT I DONT LIKE SNAKES ive always at a hard time with snakes

Its us vs. the squirrels in the morning......advantage humans with guns:) good luck fellas......post pics:)

I hear ya...... :p

I wont be going today, caught the flu h.h.

Be safe, and good luck guys!!

Good luck to those that are out some of us are stuck at work

the squirrels beat me........ HH, your morning may have been better than mine lol. still got to be out in the woods today. about to go out again in a minute. was a nice morning!! :p

Didnt see the first fox squirrel.....lots of pineys:( we had rain last night.......so the whole woods sounded like a squirrel lightly cutting.........not a big fan of those days!!!!!

The squirrels won today.....time to pull some cards off some cams!!!!!

Great being able to be back in the woods......with a thermacell and deep woods off;)

Luke,

I didnt go, got the flu. Here I gave you a days head start and you didnt score! Oh well I should be feeling better in a couple days and then its game on! :p h.h.

Bowbo and I got 4 and walked out with 3 nice grays. The 2nd one I shot had some sorta funky skin problem, (huge bald spots with loose hair) so we left him for the predators. Got 'em cleaned before the pics again. I do have a couple pics of head shots, but not gonna post those. :rolleyes:

^^^good deal^^^

Nice going Weedhopper and Bowbo! I wish we had greys, nothing but fox up here. I think grey are better eating than fox. Post up your head shots wont offend me. I like to see how it is in the real world. h.h.

Ended up shooting one in the head at 50 yards. dad missed him and his gun jammed up so i shot it

Good on ya! A head shot at 50 yards is something to be proud of. h.h.

saw two but no luck for me. Thick woods and rain dripping made a tough morning for hunting. But it sure felt good to be out there!! Tomorrow is a new opportunity!!

Glad I wasn't the only one to get skunked today.

I gotta say, Bowbo was a Godsend today, as I walked off and forgot my ThermaCell, and he just happened to have 2 of them with him. Thank you...thank you...thank you!!

We ended up getting two today. Mornings during early season is always better for us. I seen zero this evening but got some stands taken down and lanes cut. Squirrel season is also deer scouting season.

first of the year


got a limit today

Very nice, Trapper!

Good for you TD! h.h.

Nice going everyone.

Nice Trapper!!!

Wtg trapper what's the green thingie

Thermacell. Awesome invention but you may stink too bad for the Mosquitos to bite anyway. (Just kiddin)

Salvation in the Woods!

No problem Weed!
We definitely needed them!!!

Haven't seen any Skeeter's here our water runs and no puddles or Bean could be Right Its been said I was so mean things dont hang around long

Congrats TD!!!!

For the very short time I had to hunt this weekend, I was able to get out on Sunday morning for about 15 minutes and squirrel hunt. Right off the bat, not even a minute into the hunt, there was a fox squirrel giving me a perfect shot in the tree right next to where I was sitting. Well I shot him and that was over. And then about 10 minutes later another fox squirrel appeared in the same tree and I shot him and that was over. I got em both skinned and in the freezer ready to eat!!!

Good going Magnum! h.h.

Good deal Ev. Our are already fried and eaten. Time to get some more I guess.....

Good for you Magnum:)

Save 'em and make that chowder!!

Yeah yeah.... I can't keep them that long. Luke eats them like crazy!!

Cut him off!! LOL!! Prolly make a batch this week or next. I heard someone mention it the other day..

You dont want to starve the poor little guy! Im glad I dont have to buy his Arby's ......h.h.

i can only eat 4 sandwiches. but dad wont buy me that many... :rolleyes:

How many squirrels can you eat at one time?

Im finally getting over the flu so look out its game on starting Thursday morning! h.h.

Off to the squirrel woods this am with more than 5 rounds

Good luck!

^^^^thanks squirrel brother^^^^

12ga dont count........ h.h.

i think someone has already been through the woods i hunted with a 12 gauge....they were spooky.....was able to get one shot:)......and one in the noggin'

12ga 3 1/2" #6 should fetch any squirrel...... h.h.

Yas it should hornharvester lol. ill prob get out tonight after em with the 22 rifle

The next few days should be very good after this cold front moves through today. Highs in the mid 70's and lows in the mid 50's.

Luke, you better get one of those click counters to keep track, I feel some limits for me in the near future... :p h.h.

I ended up getting one this evening after some terrible shooting by me. I am shooting my grandfathers old .22 he gave me when I was a kid. It has iron sights and the only problem is: when I was a kid the closest sight wasn't blurry and I could see fine!!! I missed that squirrel like 4-5 times and was pretty frustrated. Luke walked up and was giving me a hard time. I could see the squirrel hiding near the top of the tree but Luke could not, so I decided to shot at it to make it move so he could get a good shot. Not thinking I would hit it, I shot and nailed it right in the head!!!!

Time to scope it up.

Lol. If iron sights were the rule, the harvest would be pretty low. Us old guys, and you're not old yet Bean, typically can't see for crap.

First your eyes. Want me to fill ya in on what "goes" next?? :rolleyes:

LOL... Not far behind you...

I guess I should be very appreciative that I'm still young and have pretty darn good vision

Cialis???

:p

First me knee, then my eyes,..... all else is GREAT (wink wink).

Thats why I ALWAYS check his daily medication/pill organizer before letting him on the boat…….if that one is missing, he sits on the bank….for more than 4 hours…. :p He gets confused easily now…….

I was in the woods at daybreak today and shot one male in 5 minutes and that was it. Squirrels did not move or feed this AM. The one I shot was a head shot at 20yards and he was coming down a small tree with a branch in his mouth.

There were a lot of nuts laying on the ground and not much sign but I have seen a lot of squirrels this summer coming to my feeders so I know they are there.

I had Lazik on my eyes about 14 years ago and still have 20/15 in both but I tried hunting with my Remington 41P and cant see worth a hoot in low light conditions with peep sites. Its hard to knock one out of those big oak and hickory's I have. You put it on a bench and shot the center out of a target.

Luke is ahead but not by much and Im planning on going again tomorrow morning! Get the counter warmed up......

Bean and Luke,

When I lived in Kentucky I hunted with a friend and he taught me a easy way to kill squirrels when you are hunting together. Have one of you go around the opposite side of the tree and set up, have the other guy grab some low limbs about 10 yards from the tree and shake the heck out of them. The squirrel will go around to the set up side of the tree and either head down or hide, easy shot. Works every time we did it. h.h.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ROAST

Karma......

Karma....huh.....lol....well i will text you the rest of this post

Gonna give it another shot in the morning. Looks like it's gonna be a nice, cool morning.

Good deal......ill go too.......just got to find a good spot!!! My best spot i dont hunt is 10 acres of woods surrounded by a housing addition:) squirrel paradise.... just a lil sketchy with a 22.......i would hunt it with a pellet gun given the chance i think(no pellet gun).....every shot has a houses in close proximity to the woods!!!! I kill deer there only with a bow......xbow that is:)

Use subs and don't miss!

"LIKE"

subsonics for sound???

Yes!!! Those things are awesome and I need to get some.

I use Eley subsonics in my CZ as recommended by Yaz. Most accurate load I've ever used. Deadly on squirrels too!

Bad thing is if you don't have a box of subs on hand you most likely wont be able to find/buy them any where. I haven't seen any special purpose .22 on the shelves in a long time! h.h.

So anyone shoot any squirrels today? Im going in the morning. 55 Degrees will be nice, no skeeters! h.h.

Going in the morning! Good luck!

Went this evening. Still and quiet. Nothing moving. Going again in morning b

Is Luke going or is he to busy catching bees.....??? h.h.

He will be out there. He shot a coyote tonight but we couldn't find it.

Up early and had a nice breakfast of a deer steak and eggs, yum! Good luck to all of you today! h.h.

Shot me limit:)

Congrats man! I got 1....

Luke got 3. I got one. Great morning!!!!

Nice job dawn

Congrats, Luke and Dad!

Great shooting bean & luke:)

Glad you scored weed:)

Congrats guys! Way to knock 'em down!

Nice going DP, Luke, bean and Weedy! Took me a while to find them but shot a limit, 4 out of one tree. I was done by 9am. All head shots with 5 rounds. h.h.

nice shooting!!

Awwwwwww yeah........nice hh!

Good going, Mike!!

You guys did a great job today. The pictures show a lot of head shots and DP did some nice shooting with his squirrel rifle.
I took my time today and didnt hurry any shots and the picture shows the result. Fun morning to be in the woods...... h.h.

Seems like everyone had a good day in the squirrel woods. What a GREAT morning to be out.

HH - nicely done.

Gonna give it another shot in the morning.

Good luck! h.h.

slow morning, one for the freezer

Congrats, Dave! Whatcha shootin' there??

Good for you TD! h.h.

my 1963 remington 552 speedmaster

Nice!!

One in hand TD....congrats:)

Got one that fell into a thicket of nettles...never did find it. Lots of grays running high in the treetops, not offering much of a shot.

Them lil boogers down there are sneaky, weed! At least ya know where to find some now!
Go back when leaves are down! LOL

Pretty windy up here for squirrel hunting today. nettles are a deal breaker for sure! I was wearing shorts while mowing with the bush hog last Friday and brushed up against a nettle as I went by.....boy, that dang thing didnt quit itching until that night. h.h.

Next trip, I may just TAKE some leaves down, Bo...

I was up to my waist in 'em Mike...not worth the misery.. :rolleyes:

2 shots today

Nice DP.

Still just finding them in mostly shag barks! Was a lil windy this am......but no sign of skeeters:)

What trees are you guys shooting them out of?

Good shooting DP!

All my squirrels have came out of shag bark hickory trees which they most always do early season. Wont be long and they will be on walnuts and acorn trees. I didnt go this AM but should have. h.h.

^^^^ thanks hh ^^^^ 2morrow am is looking perrrrrrrfect:)

We're ya using a 12 gauge

Oh I walk through those all the time quit whining :p

You used to be cute when you were younger... :p

Now I'm just plain sexy

I have only one thing to say........whats the score Luke? :p

And why are you posting when you are suppose to be in school learning the 3 R's......???? h.h.

Because my schools dumb, we don't do anything haha. I was learning about squirrel hunting on here and old men whining about nettles

Back to the original question.....whats the score Luke...????? :p :p h.h.

Besides you need a good butt whoopin with a nettle switch..... h.h.

Please do. I will give you permission in writing!!!

You better not miss

I had to get warmed up..... Killed 4 Red squirrels and 4 foxes hehe

I think it was the bullets, I was sighted in with bullets that shoot 1550 fps. And I was hunting with bullets that shoot 1150 fps and kept missing so I switched back and shot 3 foxes and 4 reds

Make that 2 !!

Cant count the ones you are not going to eat! Plus.....you cant count your dads either! :p My count is Luke maybe 4 and h.h. 6... :p h.h.

It's still on

I try not to but you never know when the old man shakes might kick in........ . I was going fishing in the morning but now I might just go squirrel hunting instead just to put you farther behind.......lol... :p h.h.

Get anything?

Get anything?

I should have went fishing instead. Saw one when I go into the woods and it ran up a tree disappearing and never saw another squirrel the rest of hunt. Woods was real quiet, nothing moving.

You lucked out this time as I was fixing to put you in a big hole...... :p h.h.

Man,,,I was hoping you'd put a whoopin' on 'em!! The bed felt too good this morning...I admit it. :rolleyes:

Your shotgun kept you asleep because he didn't want to miss anymore times, oh wait that's the shooters fault

Go do your homework! :p

Add one more for dad!! Slow evening but great to be out.

Congrats Pops!

Already wrote a six page paper today

Keep going...... :p :p

When one you guys cook up some them Squirrels....POST a pic please...good for the soul!!

Dont wait for weed.....he is still cleaning shot out of his

Bite me... :p :p

Must have hit close to home on that one......lol

Not really,,,,

Lol

Good for you!

Im thinking the squirrel population up north is down this year from the hard winters the last couple years. Im seeing all kinds of nuts laying on the ground and no cuttings around. Usually this time of the year mornings are great especially with the cold ones this last week and squirrels should be on the move cutting nuts, but Im not seeing them or their sign.

In my woods its not hard to kill a limit most any time you go and 2 out of 3 times Ive seen only one squirrel. Something seems amiss and I think the cold hard winters have taken a toll on the squirrels. h.h.

Got off to what I thought was going to be a quick start, starting with while I was putting on the bug spray and camo T-shirt. As I looked through the window of the car I see a gray running across the yard about 15 yrds from the car. I already had the rifle loaded, I waited for him to come to rest about 4 ft from the ground. Crack goes the rifle crack goes the miss against the tree,clean miss but sure scared the bageezzers out of him.
After that the next hr was boring, not a leaf or squirrel moving.
Circled around back to the car and took a rest on the land owners tractor tire for a bit, the I noticed about 40 yrds out into the wood I see movement atop a big PigNut hickory. I sneak in and the tree is full of gray tree rats. Limited out in just a few mins. The 541 with ely subsonics do it again.

Nice shooting maddogmech. A mess of greys will be tasty...h.h.

Way to go!

Good for you Maddog.....congrats:)

Oh shots have been fired.....with a shotgun :p

Ummmmm...you really wanna go there??? . Why aren't you in school??

Ummmm. I am is school . :rolleyes:

Using my 20 gauge. :rolleyes:

I haven't even been out. Getting ready to much for some deer season, and on my way to getting a Kawasaki Bayou 250!!

20GA...... The squirrels you hunt must be the size of coyotes if you need that big of a gun! h.h.

My dad shot my 20GA

Yeah I can't use my .22 until I get it scoped. Don't wanna waste ammo or wound something because I can't see it well.

Amen, brother!!

Understood. I thought Luke was using a shotgun now instead of his new .22. Thought maybe he got tired of missing and changed guns...... h.h.

Hey watch your mouth bud. After tomorrow imma be ahead of you

i got tired of missing and took out the scattergun. dropped three but lost one.

Nice going TD.

Little windy here early but some were moving. I got 2 this morning. Luke missed a gray. Fast little things. He is determined to hunt with just his .22.

My cousin killed 2 grays with "weevils" in them. I have heard of this before, but I have never seen them in central Indiana. How common are these maggots?

I've not seen them in years..

I haven't squirrel hunted in at least 15 years but following this thread lit the fire again. I went out for about 30 min Friday morning and bagged two. Not all head shots like some of you guys but it was fun getting back out there.

Luke miss....nah..cant happen....Surely you jest.....


Nice shooting TD, bean and haymaker! h.h.

Yeah yeah yeah

Is it tomorrow yet.....???? :p h.h.

Yesterday eve pulled 3 more out of the same tree that I limited out the eve before.
Then this morning went to a different patch of woods and nothing.
Sure does spoils a guy when you run into a honey hole.
But it was great just being out in the woods.

Good going, G!

Congrats, fellas! Glad to see ya back after 'em Haymaker!

Nice going fellers!

I've got me a sickness this wknd and haven't even left the house yet, fer nuttin!

Who all went this morn??

I went for a bit, saw four, one fox squirrel old enough to drive, presented a clear shot so I took him home with me.

"Old enough to drive"...

Simmer low and slow on that one!

I may get back after them come Wednesday....Congrats Haymaker!!

Good for you haymaker!

I cooked two the other day and one was nice and tender and the other was say "a little chewy" . From now on Im sorting the old males for stew and younger one for frying. h.h.

I obtained an electric pressure cooker a few years ago. They all get the PC treatment before frying. Melt in your mouth!

I need to make another batch of chowder!

http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/wild-chef/2012/02/new-england-style-cream-based-squirrel-chowder

Weed,

Good looking recipe but if I made that much I'd be eating it for a week! I might make a batch and freeze some in meal size containers. h.h.

one more in the freezer

Good shooting, Dave!

HH....the chowder freezes really well, on the rare occasions that it doesn't get shared or eaten.

Nice one TD.

Im going in the morning before all this hot weather hits us. I hate hunting in the heat! h.h.

Well?? Any luck?

Went today and missed the first one but bag 3, all head shots.... . Hadnt checked my gun this season and it was shooting 3/4" high @30 yards. The squirrels Ive shot this year are all shot high in the head, so I turn it down to dead center @30 yards.




That makes 9 so far this year.....are you listen Luke :p The hole is gettin deeper. h.h.

JOKE !!!!!

Dang HH ya need to haul em out with a 4 wheeler?


Good going guys, I hunt a few times for tree rats each year, not good at all at it........ I keep looking for deer tracks or poop on the ground......LOL

Biggins need a ride out! Plus I dont have to walk back to the woods and lug squirrels back to the house which is great for an old fat man....lol h.h.

Anyone go today? Too hot for me until next week when the cooler weather comes in. h.h.

nope. Had to make a hospital visit with a family at 4:30am this morning. Too hot for me as well.

Going in the morning. Plan on being out of the woods before it gets hot.

Good shooting td and hh!!! Get em' weed:)

How many today weedhopper? h.h.

Stuck my head out the back door at 5:30AM and went back to bed. It's too dang hot for me, also. It's a long season, and I have enough in the freezer from last season to mix a batch of chowder up. Cooler days are ahead for sure.

I was gonna go to my shooting area to sight a couple guns in, but decided against that too. It's going to be fun enough cutting the grass today..

Its hot for sure, 90+ right now....

Went to the grocery store today and got some Velveta so I can make some stew. h.h.

Post that stew recipe, HH!

I should have said chowder...its the recipe you post. h.h.

Cry me a river...... :rolleyes:

B/M...........

Weedhopper,

Im going to make a batch of your chowder recipe sometime this weekend. I'll post up a picture when I do. h.h.

I gotta get busy and thaw some out myself...I hope ya like it HH! Everybody that's tried it really likes it! I also add some sweet corn to the mix!

Weed would you mind posting this recipe again? Or emailing it if you prefer sir. Thanks.

Here it is, Tyson...

Mac English’s Squirrel Chowder

Ingredients
- 4 to 8 squirrels, pressure-cooked or 
parboiled and deboned
- 10 cups squirrel broth (or beef broth)
- 5 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 tsp. each salt, black pepper, garlic powder
- 2 cubes chicken bouillon
- 2 oz. butter
- 8 oz. Velveeta cheese
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1 pint half-and-half
- 2 cans evaporated milk

Directions
Bring broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the vegetables, spices, and bouillon. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Add the squirrel meat and simmer 10 minutes. Add butter and cheeses, and simmer while stirring until cheese melts. Stir in the half-and-half and milk and warm through.


It's good stuff!! You can substitute any meat you choose..rabbit, chicken, etc. (and don't call me "sir")

Can you explain the squirrel prep portion? I/e I currently don't have a pressure cooker (but hope to soon) so from a cleaned and skinned squirrel what does a guy do with both the parks boil or pressure cooker options? The rest of the instructions are idiot proof so I comprehend lol Thanks! And sorry about the "sir" it is the way I was raised and the way my son is being raised. It dumbfounds me the looks I get when my son says "yes sir" or "yes ma'am " folks glare like I'm raising a cult child or something when I just feel it's a matter of respect and integrity and if my children had that instilled at a earlier age the world would be a slightly better place.

Also when you say 4 to 8 squirrels is that a standard vs double batch? And if so the other quantities do they double?

If you don't have a pressure cooker, just quarter and cut up your squirrels as you normally would, place the portions in a pan of water and simmer until the meat can be pulled from the bones. It's really up to you on how many squirrels you want to use. The more you use, the meatier the chowder. All the ingredients stay the same irregardless, unless you want to cut the recipe in half, etc.

I was kidding about the "sir" part,,and I totally agree with your philosophy on teaching your children manners. Good on you, sir!!

Is the broth just what you originally cooked squirrel in?

No....the recipe calls for 10 cups of beef broth which you can purchase from the grocery. It's not involved in the cooking of the squirrel itself. At least I don't use it that way. I de-bone the meat and start from there.

You could use the broth you get from simmering the squirrel, but I find it easier to use the store bought broth. (I use an electric pressure cooker)

Weather is cooling down time to go again! I'm hitting the woods Thursday morning. Who else is going? h.h.

Dont know about thursday??? But sooner rather than later......good luck!

Yes!!!! We will be going after the weather cools off. Missed getting out but let me get ahead of some of my Fall stuff done.

Next Monday will be my soonest opportunity.

With a couple extra days off and looking at a 14 day stretch starting Friday I took some time to try and wack some bushy tails. Yesterday started off good by spotting 2 grays working in a oak, I never could get on them for they were completely in the top not presenting a good shot.
At about 9 oclock as if a light switch was turned off, the cutting stopped, nothing but me and the mosquitoes and the heat.

Today got up to go and the rain had set in so I stayed in to do my domestic duties. After a couple hrs go by the rain stopped and I decided to go. As I pull into the drive I am greeted by a red squirrel running across in front of the car and into a single walnut tree. I get out and load the rifle and to no avail I could not find that squirrel. Ended up with 3 fox squirrels I only have a pic of one of them.A heavy rain set back in and didn't get a pic of all of them.

Getting ready for a wild game cook out some friends have every year.I'm going to use the chowder recipe that was posted earlier.

Good for you and nice picture. h.h.

congrats maddog!!!!

Way to go!

Way to go!

Its on for me tomorrow am....gonna have to clean them while hunting for time.....so much easier that way:)

only had time to hunt about an hour over the weekend, only got one.

Great shooting there TH. Nice set up you have.

Nice trophyhunter!!!

Nice rig! Congrats!

Some pics from our trips to the woods so far.....

Tristan and myself made it out opening day and brought home these 4...



Tanner posing with a couple of his greys...



Tanner showing dad up, 5-1...



Got a chance to slip out by myself this past weekend...

Good deal steve...slipped out this am....got 2 shots....on shagbarks!

Congrats guys!

I think you don't tell anyone when you miss

Actually I very seldom miss! If you notice in the pictures they are all head shots. :p Thats not by accident! Keep practicing and in another 50 years you be as good shot as I am. h.h.

By the way Im going in the morning just to put you behind by double figures........

Nice shooting DP and wtlhaven. h.h.

What? You only posting head shot pics is no accident?

Head shot pictures is all I have..... except this one from supper tonight...



Deboned squirrel, taters and gravy....it was yummy! h.h.

No chowder??

Looks yummy anyway!

Add Couple Cathead biscuits and you have a meal

Brew, them biscuits crossed my mind but by then it was too late to make them. h.h.

Next up is the chowder. I pressure cooked this one last night and finished it up for supper tonight. I added a tablespoon of beef better than bouillon to the squirrel broth and then used it to make the gravy. Next time Im adding potato's, carrots, celery, peas and onions to make it into a stew. h.h.

Very nice HH. Looks pretty good.

Nice shooting guys. We went out and Luke got one. They were moving pretty good. Saturday will be a good day to go.

would have stuck around for number 5 but my thermacell ran out of gas. **** skeeters

Good shootin and a nice mess of tree rats TD.

Skeeters werent too bad for me this AM. Hit the woods around 8 and nothing was moving. Didnt see a squirrel. Started sprinkling so i quit about a hour later.


Tomorrow morning should be a good one.

Luke, Good chance for you to catch up some..... Good luck and shoot straight! h.h.

Good going td.....leaving the woods with 4 is a rough deal....been there:) good luck to anyone going out this weekend!!!! Ill be working on deer stuff;)

Nice job Dave!!!

Congrats Dave!

We got one apiece today. Temps were great but very windy.

Juggler and I got one apiece, also. We hunted the afternoon in Morgan County and it was very windy. Cutting oak, but it was almost impossible to find them in the tree tops!!!

Nice job bean, luke and birdy.

Im heading out at daylight, should be a good morning. h.h.

Hit the woods about 7:30 and didn't see anything for a while. Only saw 3 and killed them all with head shots. I aimed for the eye and shot two thru the eyes and one just a tad low....

Two came off shag bark hickory's and one an oak.



Wasn't planning on going but Luke was getting too close..... :p h.h.

Nice!!

Keep the pics coming......nice shooting hh:)

Wasn't planning on going but Luke was getting too close..... :p h.h. [/QB][/QUOTE]

My iPad broke and I had to get it fixed and then I just didn't get on

Glad to see you up and running again........

By the way how many squirrels did you kill... :p ???? h.h.

to many to count

Im sure you have enough fingers and toes to add them up......

I just finished eating two squirrels from yesterday that I smoked and BBQ. Man they were tasty! Just about as tasty as the deer ribs I did last weekend...yum . Life is good h.h.

I probably ended with only 10-15. I probably killed 25 red squirrels though, they drive me crazy deer hunting so I get them before deer is opened up

I had rabbit last night and boy it sure was good. Wasnt sure how my 2yr old would take to it, but Id bet he ate more of it than anyone else.
