I have some Cutting but not heavy yet. Its been around 8 years but I killed Squirrels in July Cutting.

Its just really too hot to mess with yet.

I always liked the last two weeks of Aug as prime time hunting the hickory stands. Favorite times to get a mess of squirrels🙂

We don’t kill tree rats.  We let them plant acorns for new tree growth so we will have logs to harvest and fire wood.

                     So they might be doing a little cutting in places. My buddy in the Herman area went by a old church on the blacktop road. It has a big burr oak overhanging the road. He did not stop to see but thinks he seen cuttings on the road as he drove by. Walnuts in my yard are getting close to golf ball size. Nothing yet here but I took one out this morning with a .25  25.39 gran pellet to the noggin. The ones born in the late winter/Spring are getting pretty good sized. This was one of those. It will be tender just fried but won't be that way for long. When the meat looses the tan whiteish color and turns redder then more creative ways will be needed for cooking. I did look at the stomach contents through the lining. Looks as though mostly late mulberries or now ripe blackberries. Then a little spot maybe some nut content.

Actually you don’t need Squirrels I have plenty of Oak sprouts from Acorns falling into the leaves.

Around here don’t have Rabbits so it is Rabbits or Coons.

                 Just where do you live? Do you have many ticks and chiggers? Do you sleep in? Just wondering if I could get away sneaking into you place.
