Virginia started a spring squirrel season couple of years ago for a couple weeks in June. The biologists say it falls in between litters, but only on private lands not on federal or state.
I tried it one year on a farm that had alot of fox squirrels (the owners want me to kill them all). I killed four I believe, no females, as I recall, that fall they didn't seem to be as plentiful as in other years. It was in the 80's+ temps, but was a nice summer day.
I haven't hunted them in June since. The owners were calling me several times a year to get rid of them as they were getting in their vehicles, looking in the house, digging up her flower bulbs, etc. I called DGIF an discovered squirrels are considered a pest species an with land owner permission can be killed year round. I wouldn't want to kill a female with a litter, no way!!
I hunted them the same as I did in the fall, no difference, on the ground, in tree limbs, etc. They seemed to be surprised to find me shooting at them in June tho...
