Squirrels

[rooster85]

Who's getting excited about chasing some tasty bushy tails this year? I enjoy hunting squirrels almost as much as deer, its almost like a step back in time to my childhood running through the mountains with a .22 and a peanut butter sandwich. Not a care in the world and certainly no electronics to get in the way of living. So who's ready?

My son has been begging me all summer to let him bust one in our yard. I'd say he'll be primed by the time season comes in.

Somewhere i have a photo of myself and my first squirrel. Smile from ear to ear! Busted him with a .410 and what an awesome hunt!

I remember my first kill as well. My dad took me out behind my grandmas house with a single shot. .410 that I still have. I was probably 7 or 8. We took 2 steps in the woods from the yard and I busted one that ran up a dead fall, then paused to check us out. I was super pumped and ran back to the house to show my grandpa. He jokingly gave me a hard time for killing his "pet" as he loved to watch/feed the birds and squirrels. We killed another squirrel 5 minutes later and I was on top of the world. Squirrel hunting is such a great way to spend quality time in the outdoors.

I'm ready to stick a few with some carbon sticks!

I love to hunt squirrels! Have some awesome memories as a youngun and even much later slipping through a hickory grove,beech stand or an oak flat listening for some cutting or that telltale sign of one leaping from branch to branch. I remember very well of my first squirrel I took with my dads 22/410 over under and nearly took two simultaneously but I missed the second one due to being so pumped in killing the first one...lmao

Can't bring myself to kill any of the dozen or so I have in my back yard(hickory/oak woods). It would be no challenge and I enjoy watching them...dang

Although, squirrel,squirrel gravy smothered over candied sweet potatoes sounds very good right now...double dang!!

I agree with all of y'us! It's my second love of hunting, behind deer hunting of course. I like to use my .22 on them. I am pumped and ready!

I got my Ruger 10/22 dialed in at Woodbury so I'm ready. This will be my first time hunting them.

I used to live for it cause I had an older guy that would take everyone I killed. Today its hard to find anyone that wants them so I dont hunt them much.

My 10/22 is ready

Just hope I have enough ammo

I've had 1 great squirrel hunting morning where I dropped 3 in about half an hour...

Maybe I'll get out again this year, I like to always do at least 1 hunt.

My son is already asking when we get to go again. I tell him after his birthday.

I can't wait.

Pretty excited cause I get to take my oldest son(7yrs) out with his cricket 22 for the first time.

 

[Jackalope]

I remember my first like it was yesterday. Single shot 410 also. I still have that gun and make it a point to pull it out once a year and take a walk through the squirrel woods.

This will be my sons first time too. He's 11.

I am taking my Daughter, Mattie squirrel hunting this year. She's been begging me and I am so pleased!

 

[lung buster]

My son and I are counting down the day's. I started out squirrel hunting when I was a youngin. So many memories in the squirrel woods!
