First Fox squirrel! I've been dreaming of getting one since I first heard about them, as a kid. I can't believe how big it is. Got him with my Grandpa's old Winchester model 12. This one's going on th

We're out this morning in Naples. 2 greys and a red so far. White oaks are dropping acorns like crazy. There were a lot of squirrels out this morning, but it's slowing down now. I'm proud of him, he got 3 reds and a grey yesterday. The kid's a diehard.

I generally use a shotgun the first few times out in early season..

When I get a few packages of squirrel in the freezer, I switch to a rifle..

So far this year I've taken 17 with the 16 gauge, 9 with the Ruger 10/22, and 3 with my NEA .17 MachII....

Both my squirrel rifles are scoped..I have a Burris fixed 4X compact on my 10/22 and Leupold fixed 4X on the .17 MachII...

I'm waiting on some new gear to come in the mail. Going not this weekend but next.

 

For squirrel, only gear you need is a shooting instrument, warm clothes, skinning knife, and a hunting license.

ironically its the scope im waiting on. I could just go with my 12 gauge and call it good. It would get the job done and I have a good skinning knife. I work sun up to sun down so it limits me to the weekends. By that time the wife has my time allocated already. I need a vacation.

Or a new wife. Probably easier to get a new wife than vacation.
