I've seen about 10 on our lease in Chattooga Co. I watched a Coopers Hawk take one down Sunday afternoon. The hawk sat up high on the ridge screaming, a squirrel started barking about 30yards away from me. About the time he got calmed back down, the hawk came streaking down and grabbed him right off the side of the tree. It was awesome to watch.

I'm seeing a lot of young squirrels now, some places are loaded, some places still have none. It's amazing how fast the ones that were left are repopulating.

I found em all from my area last week. They have moved to panola state park. I guess that's where they migrated to.

Did you guys see the new article about squirrels on the GON home page? Seems like DNR is chiming in late!

Yep just saw it. That's why I like to look at the forum. It seems as if word hits the streets instantly on this! Anyway hope all is well Kyle, I'll be out of school in December for a month, I'm going to go a head and start prepping for next season. Come hit chatt wma with me one day in December and lets collaborate on some ideas!

not just the squirrels have left seems like the big game left also?

Big game are still there. Bears moved down low and spread far and wide last fall/winter. Record sightings and reports of nuisance bears outside their typical range. They're back, just hard to locate along with hogs and deer. Bumper crop has them hunkered down. I've seen nary a hog this year in the mountains, and I usually can't get away from them. Unless I get lucky, this may be my first year ever without a mountain hog. Deer are still there. TreeCutter08 found some Tuesday. He laid the hammer on two GREAT mountain bucks Tuesday when it was frigid cold and windy. He shot the second bigger buck with one already quartered and in the pack! Check his post in the deer hunting forum titled "Good day on the mountain".

Late yesterday I went squirrel hunting in an area where squirrels were non exsisting a month ago, I killed my limit in about 20 minutes, they were all young squirrels the best kind.
