Do you have any trouble with warbles hunting in the summer?
The last four squirrels I posted also came from the mulberry tree, they would come in one or two at a time at first light. Pretty easy pickens but it sure was a lot of fun, I have shot a lot of squirrels out of that old tree over the years but never like this.

I have been hunting squirrels for about 45 years and have never seen a warble in one around here, but I dont do much hunting during July and August which is most likely the worst time for them.

WCBoyz,


Got you added. Welcome to the forum. Go hunt some squirrel. And share a picture. Preferably with whatever you used to hunt them in the picture. If you need to skin them before getting a camera, you can post the skinned squirrels as well.


Good luck!




-Jake

Glad to see you're on my team. I doubt we'll be able to dethrone longhunter, but I think second place is easily feasible.
