Re: Squirrel Contest Results

LOL, no big deal. Dove season comes in when squirrel does around here, and to me, dove is much tastier, and a lot more fun to hunt, but that's just me.

I will take the odd bowshot at one while I'm bowhunting deer (especially if they're driving me crazy). There's a dude at work that likes them, so I clean them up for him.

Re: Squirrel Contest Results

Saw two squirrels running infront of me on the ground the one day I went out hunting. Tried to stalk up and get a shot at them before they escaped into the no hunting zone. They were young grey squirrels playing chasing each other around and rolling on the ground together. Sat for awhile waiting to see if they'd come back to have one tree near me in it's den hole and start yelling. Waited for hours for it to come out and give me a shot. Tried a few calls to lure him, but it was a no go. So, I moved away from the tree a bit more thinking he'd get curious come investigate where I went. Used a few more calls and finally saw him start to crawl out and down the tree to see him shot by another hunter that had snuck in on me through the thick brush. Didn't see his hunter orange on him at all until the guy had already shot the squirrel due to the brush blocking my view. Talk about annoying. The guy just looked at me with my squirrel call in my hand and smiled at me then picked up the dead squirrel and walked off. Going to try to get out some more before Feb 4 when the season closes for the year. The hunting truck though is out of commission, so I don't get the option to go upstate in a better area to hunt them and have to stick to hunting city squirrels at a small state game lands near me.

If it's OK with the other teams I'll be lady's teammate. As I said before, I don't hunt them too much anymore because I don't care for the taste, but I've got a buddy at work that likes them, so I'm in if the other teams say OK.

Ohio allows reds, grays, and fox. I mostly see fox. Our season runs through the end of this month I believe, I'll have to check to make sure.

I'll be using my bow or .22

This OK with y'all?

Re: Squirrel Contest Results

Welp I gave it my best to try to bag some late season squirrels. Around here it is just too hard to get them during the winter months. Can't say I didn't try though. My season ends Feb 4. I won't have time to get out again before it ends. Went out 5 times for squirrels. Saw 3, 2 of which were in the no hunting zone and illegal to shoot and 1 was shot out from under me by another hunter who didn't see me and I didn't see him due to he was sitting in thick brush and he had bare minimum orange on.
