Anyone doin squirrel hunting?


Recommended Posts

I've thought about it. The hard crusty snow right now is definitely a deterrent. I'm really thinking about grabbing my Browning light 20 and trying my luck if we get a manageable amount of snow in this upcoming storm. Good luck if you're able to get out!

I wouldn’t mind gettin out and poppin a few nice grays for a stew ; anyone thinkin the same thing ? 

If it warms up enough, on one of the next few weekends, I may try a little.  I do love squirrel in the crockpot.  It is way better than rabbit.   
 

I will have to take my pellet gun to the stand where I took this picture of one while I was crossbow hunting there  last fall.  It is too close to some buildings to use a firearm.

I've been out a few times. Haven't seen any with shooting. Go figure. During deer season I'm covered up in squirrels that I won't shoot. Now that I'm looking for them, I can't find 'em.

That is the story of my hunting life see deer when looking for small game see small game when im looking for deer its like they know lol

I was just ready to say something similar. I've never done either in a crockpot, but I'd need hard proof before I said squirrel was superior to rabbit :)

I have done mixed bags in the crockpot multiple times, and the squirrel always tastes better to me.  Only problem is, that they are smaller, so it takes more of them for a meal.

I mean it's all subjective, so I believe you.
