Anyone know what squirrels are feeding on this time of year?

[Mattval]

Has anyone noticed what squirrels are feeding on this time of year? It seems like the only time I see squirrels are when I'm deer hunting or turkey hunting!!

They are eating the stuff they stored away.

Buried acorns, mock hickory's, pine cone seeds, corn from feeder.

They're on the insides of the trees making more squirrels. You see more sq. When deer hunting because that is the best part of the year to hunt them. Too bad deer season in GA lasts so long you have to miss it.

Need to start deer season earlier and have some breaks for other kinds of hunting. Lulls between ruts would be good.

I've always had luck for late season squirrels in areas where hardwoods border pines/cedars.

I have a Black Gum tree in my yard and about this time of year they start feeding on the seeds and we still have Red Oat acorns left on the ground. We had a bumper crop of Red Oats acorns this year. My understanding is they only produce ever two years. Do you think there will be very few Red Oak acorns next year?

The acorn "schedule" does not mean all trees at the same time.

acorns everywhere on the ground still

They are eating the stuff they stored away.

And the post acorn drop has been decent since we have had a warm spell.

The white oaks I see on the ground are just now starting to rot. We still have the big red oak acorns that just dropped. A lot still have the stems attached and show no signs of rot.

Left overs in the fridge.

Ok thanks yall. I may take a trip during deer season next year.

Depends on what area of state you are hunting. Piedmont south this time off year is mostly ground feeding. I always look for the pin oaks in creek or swamp bottoms that still have green leaves. They will be still dropping acorns.

 

[NCHillbilly]

Buried nuts, pine cones, and the last of the water oak acorns in areas where there are still some on the ground.

There is 50 at my deer feeder daily. SO I would say shelled corn...lol

 

[JustUs4All]

Which begs the question: is baiting squirrels legal or ehtical and would you do it? LOL

Hunted yesterday and stayed in them on the field roads that separated mature pines from hardwoods.
