The squirrels are already cuttin hickory nuts.Their meat is at its best when they are feeding on them,and they will be fat come opening day.

You can have them!!!Aw,them worms won't hurtcha!? They fry up good and crispy.
That's right. They are not in them the first couple of weeks. Then they are gone by the middle of October.I never really hunted them in South Georgia, but found that up here in the Piedmont, the wolves aren't heavy at all for the 1st couple weeks of season.
I love plucking at them with a .22 rifle, but at the beginning of season, a shot gun and knowing what to listen for will load the bag.
It would certainly do a number on squirrels but you might not have much left to eat!The wheels in my head go round and round….
Thinking about taking my turkey gun squirrel hunting. Remington 870SP magnum with 18" rifle sighted barrel and extra full choke tube. I've got a couple boxes of Remington express high brass number 6s.
I bet blowing a few loads up through the Hickory leaves would really help me better visualize my pattern under my site picture. I'm 100% confident with it in the turkey woods, but I would just love to see how it paints.
And I think it would be deadly on the critters.
Looking forward to bringing it out.

Most of the time when they are in the Hickory trees, I'm only shooting at the side of a squirrel on top of a limb. Or the head looking down at me. Hardly ever see the whole thing.It would certainly do a number on squirrels but you might not have much left to eat!
Hunting squirrels with a dog is a lot of fun,especially with kids.They don't hafta be still or quiet.
