2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

[Ol Bob]

Enjoying read this thread fellas. Please keep it up and post some more pictures.

It has been many years since I moved away from the south and squirrel hunting. I still miss it. A gray squirrel was the first game animal I took.

There is a guy that has a video on YouTube hunting squirrels with a Mountain Feist I believe in WV. And you'll never guess what he was using, yep a Crockett rifle. Most of his kills were head shots. Id like to hunt with a dog like that, I'm just too stoved up to keep up with a dog anymore.

Hello Ol Bob.

Don’t know if you’ve seen it or not but there’s a previous thread on here in this section called 2023 Fall Squirrel Season. If you haven’t seen it yet, you might enjoy it. There’s lots of great information in that thread from some very good members.

It was on the second page of this section.

I just bumped it up for you.

A little more good news, we’ll, for me anyway. The PT guy told me that if I continue with my home PT as I have been, that I should be able to hunt the steep terrain here come the opening of spring squirrel season.

This gives me even more incentive to be a good boy, stick with it, and don’t do anything stupid before I’m healed up. Historically, I’ve always been one to push things like this too early.

Hello Tom.

Is that the video of the guy riding his ATV behind his squirrel dog?

Stay the course my friend!

Ed, after he sees the Crockett Rifle bring down a squirrel, and how it all comes together, he'll be teaching the young ones about muzzleloaders hopefully...

I agree Fred. I used to be that guy that only counted a good day when I got a limit. Now it's a great day if I get one with a 32. I enen chuckle when I miss.

That's the one Ed.

That’s a neat video. Looks like a lot of fun

Yep, one will suffice.

That video kind of helped make up my mind on getting a Crockett. Nothing wrong with my CVA Varminter, but my gun cabinet is like a good Irish family, always room for one more

What? What you talking about?

A random article I found. I tried to share it here, but it didn't work. Never heard of it, but I guess it's a thing. January 21st is squirrel appreciation day. I appreciate the heck out of them on a plate next to mashed taters gravy, cat head biscuits and a sweet tea

Ed, I know I'm not the one that is happy to hear that news. I know you have a spring squirrel hunt, and hope you'd be able to make.. some folks do have that same push, alot a folks don't. I know now days I too, have to slow done, take it easier than I use to.
Congratulations, keep it up. Sping will be sooner than we think.
I for will be looking forward to reading about the hunts.
