Squirrel season opening day expectations.

[modulation]

Is open day of squirrel season a big deal at all? Am I going to have to get to the WMA at 5:00am and play flash light tag like dove season? Will there be people selling biscuits on the side of the road? Does anyone care about squirrel season?

If I found some good spots where there were tons of squirrel signs (yerns, white oaks, nut shells all over the bottom of trees) last Winter are those going to be hot opening day? Are all the squirrels gonna have warbles?

No.
No.
No.
Not much.

Maybe. But this early you'll probably just have to walk em up.

If a squirrel has wolves, it don't hurt the meat a bit. Just nasty looking. Eat em anyway.

Good luck!

Hot hot and hot don't forget sweat. Its the kick off of 2023 and 2024 hunting season. Get after them. Theres a bumber crop of squirrels in my neck of the woods this year. Good luck.

As far as the heat goes I plan on being out of the forest by 11am or so. Gotta remember bug repellent. Gonna get checked for ticks when I get home too.

Bumper crop digging up my fescue so they can eat the roots too.

I'm inside the city limits barely but I got a decent pellet rifle somewhere around here. Time to put out a little bird seed to fatten them up a little.

I'm anxious anticipating opening day!

They're harder to hunt with the leaves still on the trees,but if you see hickrynuts cut up you will find some sweetmeat squirrels.

It's a good excuse to be in the woods scouting deer.

I wish more including myself shared your enthusiasm for early season squirrels. There's no better way to perfect your woodsmanship and marksmanship than spending time chasing squirrels with a .22 and It's a great time to begin scouting for Fall big game seasons. Good luck.

Just come to my yard and you’ll have your limit in no time . I plan on taking all of them out that I can. Making a mess eating green pine cones.

 

[Hillbilly stalker]

Great time of year for calling them with a couple quarters. They’re feeding on some hickory nut, but most I see are feeding on Maple seeds if have any near by. Their wearing them out.

I hope to be able to start hunting squirrels by mid September. I’d like to get quite a few in the freezer to cook this winter for a dinner with friends.

 

[KentuckyHeadhunter]

Shoot a pig while you're at it fellas!

 

[sb1010]

take precautions against ticks and chiggers.

Wolves are rare first couple weeks by my experience...

Those wolves are good fried up nice and crispy.

 

[sb1010]

I've ate them that had wolves. It won't hurt you.

Wolves aint common and you will have the place to yourself. Early squirrel season is one of my favorite times in the woods.

My daddy takes the opening day off every year, and I always come down for the following weekend to hunt with him.

Occasionally someone will already be at the spot I want, but I always have backups. You definitely won't get crowded out.

I get it. The older I get the nicer it is to have a "season" for things. Looking forward to them starting and then get sick of them. Hunting, Kayaking, trout fishing, college football etc.. Variety is the spice of life.
