Re: Anyone Hunt Squirrels
as a boy I used to hunt squirrels every chance I got during the season.....Never used a dog, but I know a lot of southerners use Feists to hunt them with. I don't see why a good versatile euro dog couldn't be used for that purpose.

When I was a kid my uncle had a springer that we killed a ton of squirrels over, she would tree and when the squirrel would timber she would follow and keep track of them. We had a great time with that dog.

Re: Anyone Hunt Squirrels
Hunted them alot when I was younger. Got after them again this year, it sure was easier this time too. I've shot 14 out of one tree in my front yard using .22 sub-sonics. Neighbors don't even notice.

Re: Anyone Hunt Squirrels
Darn eastern Okies with your squirrels and trees and water. I used to love squirrel hunting growing up in Louisiana and going to Missouri to visit family. Not many squirrels out here in the panhandle though.
Re: Anyone Hunt Squirrels
Yeah, but you have quail and pheasant! I would trade any day (quail are a lot easier to clean)!

Re: Anyone Hunt Squirrels
How about we trade some of my quail/pheasant stew for some squirrel and dumplings. Man I miss squirrel and dumplings. Now food don't get any better than that.

If you think you can or if you think you can't, you are right either way
Re: Anyone Hunt Squirrels
used to shoot them with a pellet gun- sometimes with bow and arrow
never with a gun dog- I'm not looking for "head crank"

Heck I couldn't even get the back legs nailed to an oak tree in 60 seconds....Squirrels were always the toughest hided things I ever cleaned....Can you tell me your secret to speedy skinning?
