Laney, where abouts in Florida did you get your Osceolas?
And congratulations on that. And there's nothing wrong with feeding the wildlife I'm sure you get out there and watch them while they're feeding and that's a good thing.

BRADY RANCH, KILLED COUPLE OF HOGS THERE ALSO.
Just got some good news. The PT gal just left and I have officially graduated from "Wilson" my walker, to a cane. Maybe if this keeps improving I'll be able to get out and do some more testing with my Crockett soon. Just got some Swiss today as well so testing to be done.
However, as of now, I'm still under what I call house arrest. Can't leave the darn house.

House arrest beats being in the penitentiary my friend. Hopefully your progression keeps up and you'll be running them ridges before you know it.
Looks like the spring 20204 squirrel season for KY has been posted. This may be preliminary but best I can tell It runs from the 3rd Saturday in May (which should be the 18th) and ends the 3rd Friday in June (which should be the 21st).
So if this is correct, looks like we will have a little over a month for spring squirrel season.
If memory serves me correctly, last spring, which was the first time I have ever hunted squirrels during the spring, was some pretty tough hunting overall. It was fairly difficult to find squirrels at first but as more buds and leaves began to pop out, things improved. The first couple of weeks, by accident, I found squirrels were eating tulip maple leaves/flowers.
The last day of spring season was a real hoot. That's the first time I got into a bunch of squirrels chasing and mating. It was high action, to the degree that I have not seen since.

Yesterday while hunting I heard noises that resembled aggressive purring turkeys make. Here it was a string of squirrels chasing through the tree tops and up and down tree trunks. There were 4-5 of them. Never got a shot at them. It was interesting to see and hear.
That is indicative of mating season, eh?
From my understanding, the female will be in the lead with up to several males in hot pursuit.
I've also noticed there will be what I have previously called "satellite squirrels" hanging around but not partaking in the chase. They will remain relatively close to the chasing and will follow it around but not engage in the actual chase. Those are the ones I go after whenever I run across a mating chase session, as they are easier and somewhat more stationary targets. From my observations, you can just about count on them being males. There's more to the story but I digress for now.
BTW, Jim. How about posting that pic of the squirrels you got yesterday for others to see. It clearly shows the difference in color between the two.

I was gonna Ed but it has my 22 in it and that’s a no-no.
Understood. I should have remembered that. My apologies. I was hurting pretty bad last night when you sent that pic so forgot all about the squirrel tool being shown.

Here’s a couple pictures a customer of mine sent me. He knows I like squirrel hunting. He got divorced and bought a house in a development. This is what’s running around his neighborhood. I asked him if he wanted to sell his house. Lol
That black one with the blond tail would look good on my wall!!
Very unique for sure.
I've seen one black one in my woods. One time only.
I’ve never seen one in the South Eastern USA.
I have seen them up in Michigan back in the 60’s.

The last time I turkey hunted Georgia, I saw a jet black one with white nose and ears. My buddy took video of another one just like it. They were maybe a mile or two apart.
I don’t know how many times I’ve thought about taking a trip down there to hunt them. They were gorgeous!
