Southern Indiana is having a poor year for Squirrels.
How about your state? Do you have a lot of tree rats this year?

Just came in from a hunt. I got out kinda late but I did get two shots at the same Fox squirrel this morning. I saw a piney too but that was it.
Northern Indiana is practicly anothe state.

The mast crop was terrific last fall. This means the squacker pop will be very good this year. I'm seeing them all over. Our season doesn't start until 3rd Saturday in August. I'll miss the opener for he first time I can remember.
Indianas season just opened this morning right? (I grew up in Indiana and the season always started on Aug. 15th). They should be in hickories, tulip popular (yellow pop), and black cherry right now.
I'll be in a place that doesn't even allow bowhunting.

I am loaded with them. We have hickory nuts almost as big as a tennis ball. They are already cutting on the hickories.

I live in the piney woods of southeast Texas. Even though we've been having a severe drought since last September of 2010, we're covered up in fox and cat (gray) squirrels.
I don't bowhunt them though. I hunt them with a 12 gauge shotgun.

Plenty of tree rats in my part of Tn. In fact about ready to start taking some of the 8- 10 I keep seeing in my yard.

I'm just across the Wabash from Indiana. Our season opened onthe 1st.
Usually here there cutting shagbark hickorys hard right now, but this year there not yet. However they are tearing up the walnuts!

Bountiful crop in my backyard eating my pears. Got the pump BB gun locked and loaded
Probably won't get out to hunt the woods for a while so may be different there. Hard to think with all the mast we had last year that they'd be too far off. Been aweful dry though.

We got plenty in Iowa, that reminds me I need to once again figure out how to skin them. There is a really easy way to do it with just a small sharp knife in the field and every year I forget, the mad cow thing, how to do it. Squirrels are tasty little rats with pretty tails, I know, but they are tasty on the grill. I gotta get me some.

We have a lot of gray tree squirrels right now in Northern California. The archery season on em just opened and open season won't be for a couple of weeks I think.
I don't think I'm skilled enough to go after them with my bow yet, but I'm thinking of getting an air rifle...
I really want to hunt some to eat and tan their pretty little furs!!

In northeast Oklahoma, where we have about equal numbers of grey and fox squirrels, it seems like a normal year. FarmerMarley, take your bow, squirrels are easier to hit that you might think.
