Squirrels Cutting Already

[Zwinegar]

Nice vest, but I wouldn't wear it for squirrel hunting…they seem like they can see bright colors to me…

One way to find out, I'm going to be sneaky sneaky and sniping them outta the trees but will see come opening day how I manage and I'll be posting for sure! Main thing is I will be hunting squirrels in deer season and need to stay legal and alive.

They been Cutting on hickories for a couple of weeks around here as they always do. Pretty normal, at least for around here.

Yeah, found some cuttings under a shag bark hickory last week…they always started on Virginia pines on the Plateau when I was a kid up there years ago…

I saw a couple hickories on a golf course today that were getting worked over pretty good. There was at least one up in it cutting when I went by it.

Picked me up a Marlin 795 from Tenntrapper today for squirrels and I'm going to scout some public land in a few places tomorrow morning for hickory/ beech and listen for them. Will I need gaiters is there a great fear of snakes in the woods or will jeans and boots be fine? I am pumped for season to start!

I don't use snake boots or gaiters…that's me…I'm not too concerned about snakes, I worry more about yellow jackets or hornets…when squirrel hunting I move slowly enough to watch where I put my feet or hands…and I carry a hiking stick which comes in handy for spider webs, briars, and rifle steady rest…my fav squirrel rifle, laying on my hiking stick…
