Hard to believe the summer is flying by and we can be hunting those little munchers next month this time, I haven't seen much of a nut crop this year as much as last year. Have to get the air rifle fired up soon.

Early season squirrels don't spook too badly from a .22, especially if you follow it immediately with an aggravated squirrel bark. Young of the year will usually run out on a limb & bark at you right after you shoot, then call. Need a few more before bow season starts.

Other than looking unpleasant, warbles don't hurt the meat. They are between the meat and the skin. I always wondered why people who eat squirrels will leave them in the woods if they have a warble. If you'd see half the parasites that come out of chickens and pigs before they butcher them, you'd never buy it again if warbles bother you. Lol

Yeah I can't get fired up to go in 80 degree weather, starting next week it's suppose to b a lot cooler.
Yea it's rough when it's this warm, if I go again before it cools down I'm going to wet Wade a small River or big creek, I may carry my flyrod and a pistol or a light rifle.
Good luck and Good Hunting !

I've noticed that the nut mast is way, way down this year in Richland county! I have several walnut, and hickory's close to my house, but very few nuts. I usually have to clear the yard before mowing because of the walnuts, but this year the squirrels already cleaned up any fallen nuts! I agree it's too hot to hunt squirrel's until it cools off a little!

Squirrel season is looking pretty productive.

It would just be the downtime i get from not having a car that it decides to finally get cold. When i get back on the road, first thing im doing is getting my hunting license, then im gonna take out my shotgun i bought last year and see if i can bag a few grays for the frier.
