Went Squirrel hunting today.

Got to the first tree - shaggy bark Hickory.:)

Searched the ground a bit - that tree has some big nuts. :eek:

I need to move to the other side (sun side). Whats at my feet? They look too orange to eat. :(

A look from the opposite side.

But the little guy is safe. Season doesn't start til 8/1 and all I have on me is a camera. (A crappy one at that.) :o

I just need to decide which gun to take. This would have been a perfect 22 shot. :cool:

Those are some nice pics even with a crappy camera. Squirrel hunting is one of my favorites. It's peaceful and you have to be patient. Can'nt wait.

Got a new string on my bow and am ready to use the "Hammer" heads on a tree rat.

Do you use Flu Flu fletching for up in the tree shots?

Maybe use a slingshot? No sound for the neighbors to know you're hunting. And of course follow the the S's. Yep, j/k here too.

Maybe get a nuisance permit and trap them.

Just as soon as season opens, they're no where to be found! Stalked and sat for 3+ hours yesterday, nothing! Just as soon as I pulled in the drive, one in a pine tree near my yard and one walking the power lines above my truck! OOOOOOOOOH, so frustrating. any tips, ya'll??

Find what they are feeding on and where they are feeding at. Like a hickory tree with nutz on it,stake it out early in the AM or late in the evening right before dark.
