Squirrel hunting- 44 days!

[magnumhunt]

where is this taking place?

[shawnhu]

Most likely Stewart.

Count me in. I need to break in the new .25 Hatsan. I'll finish sighting it in tomorrow after work.

[shawnhu]

That's what I've been waiting to hear!

We need to keep an eye out for bunnies over there also. They are DEFINITELY fair game!

[shawnhu]

I believe the game we will be after is squirrel, rabbits, pheasant, and yotes.

I haven't been out hunting in a month. Anything that is fair game, will be fair game.

doubt i'd get as close as 50yds to one though

Dammit! I can't go tomorrow. Wife has to go to the in laws.

[shawnhu]

We'll be changing the date for Sunday, but we're good to go!

[13BVET]

Sounds good, Shaun. Give me a call tomorrow with the time.

[shawnhu]

See you in a little bit Stan.

[ginoe]

happy hunting! when you get a chance - post a follow-up report?

Better hold onto your hats today. Pretty windy out there.

[greybeard]

Did you guys go ? I was waiting to hear some stories...

[shawnhu]

Hey grey, Stan, Elmo and I met up at Stewart and had a great time. We explored some new areas and found some great sign. The wind did pose a problem, but it was great to get together again and chat. Hoping to making this a regular thing.

[Elmo]

Spotted a couple of squirrels but too far in the distant. The target game was rabbits but we struck out on them. I took a shot at a passing crow but my wing shooting needs some serious work. I keep forgetting to lead them in the heat of the moment.

[greybeard]

Thanx...I enjoy reading the stories

elmo remember this was always told when young if your going to miss the bird miss it in front......

I know but each and every time at the heat of the moment, I always forget. I need more practice time at the skeet/trap range so that it becomes instictive.

Ok folks, its about that time of year again. We are approaching opening day for squirrel soon.

I'll be out there opening day, which falls on a Sunday this year. I'll most likely be in the 3S, 3N, or 3M area with either a rimfire or an air gun. The foliage should be real thick, but I enjoy the challenge.

We've done this for a couple of years now, and its always a blast(pun intended). New and old hunters are welcome, and if you're thinking of becoming a hunter or new at hunting, this is a great opportunity to hang out and see what it's like.

So mark your calendars, purchase your license, bring your hunting implement, an pack yourselves a peanut butter sandwich, its going to be a fun day!

Exact location will only be sent via PM/text message. So don't wait until the last minute to sign up!

[Skillet]

You know I'll be out!  Probably hunting in 8N.  Can't wait.

[Elmo]

I will be out there as well.  I've already had it up to here with nursery building and stroller reviewing and I still have the hospital tour and lamaze class to do.  If I don't get out into the woods at some point I might end up putting my head through a wall.

Don't do that Elmo, then you'll have to fix said wall.
