Virginia Squirrel Hunt

I was just reminded that the new Spring squirrel season has started and we haven't done anything about planning a Trad Hunt.  What's everyone's schedules?

This is the first year it's been available and only on private land and select WMAs.  To quote VDGIF website:

June 2-23, 2007 (Only on specific wildlife management areas listed below):

Amelia, Big Survey, Briery Creek, Chickahominy, Dick Cross, Dismal Swamp, Fairystone (including Fairystone State Park and Philpott Reservoir), Goshen, Havens, Hog Island (Carlisle Tract only), Horsepen, James River, Pettigrew, Phelps, Powhatan, Thompson, Turkeycock Mountain, and White Oak Mountain Wildlife Management Areas.

Fox squirrels may only be harvested on Big Survey, Goshen, Havens, Phelps and Thompson Wildlife Management Areas.
Hunting squirrels with dogs is not allowed during the June season.

I just checked with VDGIF and private property is included.  The wording is a little ambiguous since there's no mention of private property.  I had forgot about it until someone PM'ed me to see if we were still meeting.  I was taking the kids fishing last weekend so couldn't go anyways.  I've got a TON of squirrels (grey and fox) I'd like to thin out before deer season.  How long you staying in UK?  On post?

So just what are you suggesting Mr. Browder?

I had not realized that private property was open as well.  Is that state-wide?

Yep!  I was just telling BigRonHuntsALot that I was willing to have some guys shoot my squirrels if they want to take time out from STAR.

That sounds like a great idea!  You're breakin' my heart though...I was really excited when I heard about STAR and this makes it even better - but I will be out of state from Saturday a.m. 'til Sunday night for family obligations.

I hope you can get something going and you have a great time!

Do y'all want to try to do Powhattan WMA again?  I had a BLAST last time!  Maybe we can get the same group together again.

Methinks the man will take a cold one in this warm weather!!

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Talondale i can take any day off during the week, but my weekends are slammed this time of year with that dirty word work. i'm also headed up to MI for the Comptons Rendezvous next weekend. if you know a good spot to hunt after work one afternoon i can make the trip, it's only about a 3 hour drive from here.

I'm saving the rest of my T.O. for our coming baby and a few days in deer season, so an evening hunt would be the only feasible choice.  If we go after STAR I'll let you know how well things go and maybe we can try a repeat during a weekday evening.  We've got lots of greys and fox squirrels.  Those fox types are pretty cagey though, it will be tough getting a shot on them.

Yep, Tea might be out of the question, cold refreshment might be a better course of action  :D  at this time of year, gotta stay hydrated!
