It's the same way in the mountains around Hiawassee too. All the game is down in the settlements. I blame the lack of logging. A mature hardwood forest is pretty, but rather sterile except for the mast season. Need to sic a chainsaw on it and create some new growth. I bet all game would improve.

After first week of August , they all ran for the Hills here in Cherokee...All MIA..Must be the Great Squirrel Purge 2014!
Huh, I went out this morning with my cur and my grandson to some areas that aughta, and have in the past, held squirrels. Treed only one that we weren't able to find in the canopy. I was thinking they just weren't out because it's so muggy. This thread is interesting, what do ya'll suppose is going on?

About two weeks ago the wife asked,where are the squirrels.we live in a small subdivision . Last year you could sit on the front porch and see ten or fifteen at the time. I haven't counted ten total in the last two weeks. Weird.

Same here. I was starting to think I'd lost my squirrel mojo. At least I know it's not just me.

Funny you mention this. I have about 20 miles on foot of scouting so far this month and havent seen a single tree rat in and around Lumpkin and White county.

Did you see a lot of roadkills up in the mountains? Maybe they commited suicide.

I'm just a few miles north west of you, and I can count on one hand how many squirrels I have seen in the past month, hickory trees are hanging full but no squirrels are cutting.
