I went Mon. morning until 11:30. I saw about 10 of them and killed one with my homemade Hybrid Flatbow after missing him with the first shot. I also missed 5 other times. I found out when I do well hunting tree rats with the bow , it makes me a much better deer hunter.

wish the place I hunt them was better for bows. Its to thick, the squirrels almost never are on teh ground and they take cover every time you move. Really tricky with bow.  Im heading out around 6 or 7 am (when ever the rain stops) but the bows staying home today, airguns time to shine. will deffinatly try with the longbow befor ehte season ends though  :)

longrifle, You must do pretty well at hunting tree rats because you do really well with the deer!

I went out Saturday morning with my new Shrew.  No squirrels down.  But there was an unlucky chipmonk that got in the way of a flying 1916 Easton Jazz with a 125gr hammerhead attached to it:

Hey Ron,

There are plenty of good stumps over in the Klondike Forest.  Lots of acorns dropping this year, too.  Quite a bit of the area is open hardwoods with little undergrowth.  Great for stumping.  It is about 7 or 8 miles east of Parish in West Amboy.

This fella made the mistake of running parallel to me in a ditch while I was walking a logging road.
