Holy Crap!

I went out to do some squirrel hunting this morning. It was colder then a witches *** out there. It was 10 degrees. I lasted about an hour walking and bailed. Even walking my face was froze. I didn't see one frikin' squirrel to even make it worth while.

It looked darn cold out there today..made me less ticked about being to sick to do anything.

Always found it funny. When deer hunting, there would be half a dozen squirrels running around a spot. Then you go out to hunt the squirrels, and don't even see one! But see a bunch of deer! What's up with that?

I agree it always seem the game you're pursuing is always MIA. It sure the he** is cold out there. I was gonna go do a coyote set  this AM but I'm waiting a little bit.

Absolutely!  Went out several times in the last two weeks and it seems the squirrels are tucked away in their cozy little bushy tail beds... so I started tracking rabbits and spooked two deer in a young spruce grove.

The state land I went to, I always say the little furry tailed nuisances deer hunting. Nothing seemed to be moving at all yesterday. Drastic weather change might have something to do with it.

 

I was going to go again this morning with the sun being out. Started the truck, and it was 8 degrees at 9am. I shut off the truck ( after I let it warm for a bit ), put the shotgun back in the cabinet, and make breakfast for myself.

I got the snowblower tire repaired, hot some new bulbs for the outside lights, and helped the little woman out and did some grocery shopping. I like small game hunting, but geez, I ain't freezin my no-no's off for a squirrel. LOL

When it's cold and sunny, I'll see more than when it's cold and cloudy. Also when it's real cold, they seem to spend a shorter amount of time out of the nest. Haven't seen one yet, just come in and jump in the stew pot! Bundle up and go get em! Even a short hunt is better than no hunt, if you have the time. Good luck!

I agree grampy. I still think this messed up weather has the animals all screwy too. From 50 to 20 over night ( in my area ). Even the critters must be thinking "WTF?".
