My son has developed a love for squirrel hunting. Actually, he has always enjoyed it, but I though deer hunting was his favorite. We typically squirrel hunt before deer season opens, but once deer season opens the squirrels are forgotten. I think the issue is the number of squirrels that run around while we are sitting in the tree stand while we are deer hunting.
He decided this weekend to squirrel hunt instead of deer hunt and while we didn't see as many squirrels (of course) we did see a fox squirrel that is now in the refrigerator. He made a good shot, but the squirrel temporarily escaped us, but we eventually found it on a limb of a nearby tree and were able to get it on the ground. He was very excited and the time was well spent. He is hunting with a 410 gauge shotgun and we are about ready to try a 20 gauge with a little more knock down power.
