In NC the season is ---> Gray and Red (statewide):

My Ruger Mark II is now sighted in. Can't wait for Saturday morning.

Sign me up.

Sniper Mission
 

Put me down for six more. Took my Marlin .17hmr out to the pecan grove this morning along with my folding stool and shooting sticks. These were all taken from the same position and all were on the ground. The first one on the left was the closest at about 30 yards, the second from the left I stepped off at 135 paces.

season opens up sept 17th here just getting the rest of my gear like tent and parts to repair my shotgun hopefully it'll be back up and running smooth though I do have my .22 but prefer shotgun where I hunt probably bring both

My seasons open the 1st... Supposed to be a hot week. I typically try to get out in the morning at least of the first day, then I wait until it cools off some. Maybe I'll get a few thursday morning though.

Four more this morning!

Daggum Longhunter, you're on a roll.

I know I said I would be out this weekend come hell or high water, but as it turns out both seemed to strike me. The hell came from some kind of illness that kept me bedridden all Saturday, and the high water came from a torrential rainstorm that I later discovered flooded the entryways into some of my good spots.

Longhunter should be a team all to himself...:hail:

VA season comes in this saturday Sept. 3rd I'll wait till it gets cooler, like 60-70"s. I only shoot what I eat, which is about 16 or so for the season, depending on the populations where I hunt.

Are you finding any warbles in the grays? I have noticed they tend to effect grays an for some reason not fox squirrels. I have never found any in a fox squirrel here abouts.

Warbles
 

Someone else recently ask me the same thing, I have been hunting squirrels for over fourty years and not once have I ever found one on a squirrel. I have seen them so ate up with fleas that they looked like they had the mange but I've never found a warble.

Warbles are bad here in grays until after a couple of frost in October. Wonder if humidity has anything to do with it? July/August have been almost unbearable with humidity this year. I'm glad its almost over!!

I can vouch for this. Saw one so ate up w/them last year, at the local park, even, that I wondered if was going to survive. Young squirrel walking like a highly arthritic person.

I shot 2 with warbles early last season, but never in previous years.

Add Me Once Again...Ohio Squirrel Season Began Sept 1st..Ill Be Out is Saturday

Got three this morning with my Ruger, including my first ever fox squirrel.

Six more from the magic pecan grove for team 3 this morning.

Just curious longhunter... How big of an area(s) do you hunt. Do you ever run out of squirrel? Seems like ya'll must have a huge population. Keep stacking them up!
-Jake

I have about a dozen or more good hunting spots, anywhere from 80 acres to a 180 acre pecan grove. I live in a small town of about 4000 people,lived here my whole life, worked a the local farm store for about ten years and was the T&L service manager at the local wallyworld for about fifteen so it"s kind of hard not to know about everybody. Pretty easy to get permission to hunt, and yes there are lots of squirrels.

Four more for team three this morning.

My season opens on Thursday. The weather is looking great for it.

I took my ruger single six .22mag out this morning for a walk. Didn't see anything. But I love these cool, early fall mornings.
-Jake

My season doesn't start until October 17th.

And Team 3 already has 36 squirrels.

Ya the rest of us definitely have some work to do....

Team #1 starting it's comeback....... got one this afternoon out on the SGL....

-Jake

-Jake

I finally shot one. +1 for team 2

Well haven't been able to get out yet had alot of rain it flooded every road and access to public hunting where I hunt here in wisconsin hopefully week or two I'll get out

I'm not seeing very much mast around here this year, except one hickory tree that had some fox squirrels coming in where I deer hunt.

I did kill 3 fox squirrels last week, but was in a hurry to get them cleaned up (still hot) and didn't take a pic...

One squirrel for team 4, shot on 9/22.

Another from this afternoon. Sorry for the upside down pics.

was able to get one this weekend though saw more deer than anything.
