Our season opened last Saturday. I went out for a little while in the later afternoon. As expected, I was not able to see any squirrels. I could hear them in the treetops, but with the foliage so thick, it was impossible to get a glimpse of them. The weather has been much too hot and humid around here for my liking, so I'm probably going to give it another week before I go back out and try for them again.
I think the game commission made a mistake moving up the squirrel opener 1 full month like they have. Yes, it gives you more time but when it's too hot and sticky, and there's too many leaves on the trees, what's the point then.
