Squirrel hunters step inside

🐿️ > 🐥. Chickens are nasty animals. I find the uninitiated take to limb chicken better when deboned.

Best time when they hole up in trees is in evening right before dark.

I changed counties and found them. Hit the woods at 4pm.

This year is the most I've seen since we moved here. 3 nice oaks in the back yard dropping acorns by the ton. If My dogs would bring them to me without chewing them first, I'd never have to get off the back porch.

Old tyme remedy was to train them to fetch pine cones.

I have seen a lot of fox squirrels. I don’t bother them. But I shoot every gray one I can. I deer hunt here at home and I keep a old 22 in my blind. I’ll shoot them while deer hunting.
Squirrels have damaged my truck, 2 cars, JD tractor, JD Gator and zero turn mower. So the only mercy I have is to put a 2nd 22 in them to finish it off.
They do taste good.

They already chew up enough pine cones to keep me in mulch. 😆

I would try it, but not many people i know have hunted or eaten them. I ate meatloaf often

Squirrels are no big deal. The hardest thing about them is skinning the rascals. Then just remember to boil them to make them tender to eat. Otherwise you'll bite and you'll see they taste good, but you can't chew because the meat is too tough. So boil first, then cook as you like. Anybody can hunt squirrel and be successful, no rocket science to a tree rat

Just like corn on a cob to them

Only had one truck be a problem. And I don't know if it was chipmunks or tree rats. It they get too close to the house now, I'll take them out. Had to take several last year, not so bad this year. Spent $4k fixing my old truck, don't want anymore of that
