Health and other issues have put a damper on my hunting since November last year. On the road to recovery and overdue time in the woods. This old man is feeling like a kid, getting excited about a spring Squirrel hunt. Any other Squirrel hunters ready for the Spring season?

I think I could get a limit right around the house.

I’d love to go but I haven’t spent anytime looking for a place

They have youngsters this time of year so I give them a pass until fall. Have fun though. I’m just a long time squirrel hunter and I’m a bit sentimental about them.

I haven't squirrel hunted since the early 80's in Madison County. It was my favorite hunting in that part of the state. I hunted with a Ruger 10/22 with a 4X scope and it was deadly. My only problem was that squirrels are the only critters that my Bride would not cook because she thought that they looked like rats.

Growing up, All my Uncles and Cousins would get together after the May 1st opener and share their Harvest from their favorite spots. Stories were told, some bragged and others lied, but it was a good time for all. Typically, there were two pots of stew; One I referred to as normal and the other so Hot/spicey my lips would go numb. Sure miss those days.

If I could have been part of it, I would have enjoyed the "Squirrel Camp" culture like was popular in SE Texas. It used to be a bigger thing than it is today. Even more than Deer Camps. I will probably go at least once this spring. Maybe one of the places I used to Squirrel hunt years ago or check out someplace new.

My favorite hunting spot was along Bedias Creek. There were lots of cat squirrels there. Never was much of a fan of the fox squirrels.

I’m in. Taking my grown son for a little camping and hunting next month. I’ll probably go by myself a few times, too.
