No hickory just oaks. There are hickory just not anywhere I go currently.

My best squirrel woods was about twenty acres of hickory that got logged out about ten years ago. Was always a good place for deer and squirrel.

That's cool. Where I live, I go 10 miles north, no hickory trees whatsoever, and no fox squirrels. I drive 10 miles south I start getting into hickory trees, and that's where I get all my fox squirrel,, . I think I only killed 1 maybe 2 Fox squirrels last year, they are my trophy...,,, Black squirrel used to be rare , but not anymore.

I took a vacation day today , didn't get out into the woods until almost 11am. Surprisingly ended up having a good hunt , 2 grays, 1 black , 1 red (pine) and 2 misses. Looks like a heat wave is coming this weekend :/

Seen Zero squirrels yesterday evening. Killed 3 grays this afternoon and called it quits early. Have only seen One fox squirrel so far this season and missed :(

I hate hunting in hot weather. The humidity and the bugs are just miserable

Went this morning , missed a black one , didn't see much. Bugs haven't been too bad here , big cold front coming in 5 or 6 days allegedly. Made squirrel jambalaya today, copied a recipe from a guy on here, delicious.

Squirrel hunting is getting hard. Shagbark hickory did not produce in my squirrel spots this year except for 2 trees. White oaks produced well in my deer hunting areas but not in my squirrel hunting areas. Bumper Red Oak acorn crop in my squirrel areas. I nailed one yesterday @ 40 yards , my longest shot this year . That was the only one I saw in a 4 hour afternoon hunt .

Well I skipped deer hunting for squirrel hunting this afternoon. Got my first fox squirrel of the season along with 2 greys. One of the greys were the size of a pine squirrel.

Had some morning responsibilities but was able to hit some public land from 1000-1200. Nothing moving at all. But did find some nice oaks and nests.

Maybe can get back there tomorrow by 0900 and catch them moving still.

I got 2 grays yesterday. Took this pic a couple weeks ago. The Rut is starting , I guess I gotta try and arrow a buck, but I'll miss these days
