Default RE: I am ready for squirrel season!

ORIGINAL: Chubber

Of course, some folks hunt squirrels during deer season. Last year a guy tried to blast one in the tree next to me with his 12 gauge while I was in my tree stand.
Yeah. I had something like this happen to me when I visited Phelps. I was pretty far South on the property, near the powerline when I saw a few guys prowling the woods with guns. They didn't know I was there, so I just watched from my tree, assuming they would move on. Both were talking as loudly as could be! Then they just stopped near me and just started shooting trees and making a general ruckus. That's when I cleared my throat and waved. They left without a problem, but I called it a day because I knew there would be nothing to see for a country mile.

Another time I had set up at Phelps thinking I would surely score, when someone fairly near me started shooting pretty regularly, as if at a range. The shooting went on throughout the day. I haven't been back to Phelps since. It is a pretty place, though.
