Its that time of year. Our season started the 15th of this month. I got 3 this weekend. A total of 10 for the hunting party. Which is pretty bad.

Re: Squrriels '09........

We don't have a season here, that I'm aware of, I wish we did. I noticed this evening that they are eating my apples. Hmmm the .308 maybe a little loud and maybe over kill!!

Thunderstorms at daybreak. Then it cleared up, but was windy as hell. I went anyway... Found a single gray. Single shot with the 22LR. I picked him up and said the hell with it. I will say that the Remington Yellow Jackets HPs did a number on him!
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

yeah I would appreciate a recipe as well. We have always just lightly flowered and black peppered them.
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

Deep fry 'em, Squrriel and dumplings, or crockpot with barbeque.
We sometimes take the fried ones and dump them in hot sauce. We call 'em hot rats!
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

I usually skin them, drop them in a sweet white wine, rub'm down with some chicken seasoning and throw'm on the grill.
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

Our season don't open till beginning of october here. I'll agree that the only thing better than squirrel hunting is running hogs with the cur dogs....
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

in response to:TIPEMOVER - how do you cook em?

mostly squirrel recipe thread:

does anyone hunt fox squirrels? i've been thinking about going on a fox squirrel hunt, i have to drive about 150 miles to where they start showing up, as my immediate area just has gray and red.

are they worth the drive and motel $?

 
Re: Squrriels '09........

That second one from the right looks to have some strange coloring. Is that just blood or does he have a black back?

Blood!
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

Between 4 of us we got another 6 yesterday... We are starting to get a good pile of them.
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

Squirrel is the first fall hunting season to open up here in CT on September 1 every year. It's been a tradition with some buddies and me to go out that day every year just to finally be hunting something again. Always a great time and feels good to walk the woods with a rifle.
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

I'll meet you all back at the truck in the A.M. drinking my breakfast! Foot sucks and it's gonna be way to late by the time I get my ass back to God's country. I'll see if I can bring some more eggs and sausage and ice em down for the victory gathering! Hearts and livers anyone?
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

Can't beat those quick "limit" hunts! I love hunting small game and the eating afterwards is the best part!
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

I've been getting a few lately. They are all over around here, running everywhere. I think squirrel tastes great, but my wife is not as big a fan as I am. I only kill a couple at a time since I'm the only one eating them.
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

our squirrel season starts saturday.. got my .22 and my shotty ready.. hoping to bag the 6/day limit
 
Re: Squrriels '09........

I don't know anybody who hunts them here in Oregon. It's a shame as our Grey are twice the size of the ones In illinois where I grew up. I always thought that squirrel hunting was like " snipe hunting" you know the sack and the whistle at night kind of deal. I think it's neat that people really do it and seem to look forward to it. Look a little too much like a ground squirrel for my taste. This is just a hoot! I can't believe I thought it was a joke all these years. Jeff
