Johnsfolly Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 https://www.ktlo.com/2022/01/01/agfc-hosting-big-squirrel-challenge-in-january/ Sounds like a good time. Wishing that I was in AR right now! gotmuddy, Daryk Campbell Sr and BilletHead 3
gotmuddy Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Definitely no shortage of them. I would like to try eating them, I have never had any everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

BilletHead Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 .25 cal works even better. Shoot them in the head too .

Have the .30 cal barrel kit also for it. 50 yards day in and day out quarter sized or better groups depending on wind and dime sized groups not uncommon. over 100 squirrels in the 2020-2021 season. Have not kept track this season so far. I can tell you we are eating very well. Keep separate young ones and old ones. Young ones fried and old ones braised. Had company three days over new year holidays. Big mess of young ones with squirrel gravy and mashed taters plus sides. Good eats!

I would rather hit conservation areas. It is neat to explore new ground. Then I have other farms I can hunt. Not all places have good populations. I believe from reading and seeing firsthand squirrel migrate with food sources. There is so much untapped ground around here. snagged in outlet 3 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

You can hunt a small place that has big populations. I have set in one place and have had a dozen within view at same time. Again, depending on food source the ground can have a very, very large population living there. You might be afraid to tread on those places snagged in outlet 3 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

nomolites Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 I know when I deer hunt it is not uncommon to have a dozen within 50 yds. Last Thursday AM had a bobcat snatch a gray right underneath me….pretty dang cool to watch. Mike BilletHead, Johnsfolly, Quillback and 2 others 5
