Last year was the worst I've seen since 1981. This year is slightly better, but no banner year. I've noticed there are fewer Hickory Nuts, Walnuts, and the Beech nuts are a little "skimpy" too. I've shot a few Squirrels out of Acorn, Poplar, and Black Gum Trees so far. I have also noticed that the follage is much more thicker than usual. My Brother says it due to the fact they bared heavy last year. Maybe thinks will improve somewhat later in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got most of my Squirrels by sitting in the woods boardering a cornfield. What they are doing is filling up with corn then entering the woods and lying on a limb in tall trees. The Follage is very thick and since they aren't moving once they position themselves in the trees, it is difficult to see them. I was using a .22 Rifle but have switched to my .410 S/S at least untill the leaves thin out latter on in the season. It is very Hot & Humid in SW Indiana, and the only time it is cool enough is between sunrise and 9:00 am. Bugs are terrible this year too! <Good Luck with your Squirrel Season!> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfisherman Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: anyone in indiana having problem\'s ! Good stuff to know. I am going out in a couple of days and this gives me a heads up. During Turkey season I couldn't get the squirrels to leave me alone.
