I took a friend hunting this past weekend. He wanted to break in to the hunting world, and I suggested trying to get after squirrels is a good introduction. We got out to the deer creek area just as it was getting light. Walked about 1/2 mile to a spot of trees with several walnut shells (may have been from last year) on the ground and sat. Within a few minutes saw a tail scurry up a tree and jump out of sight pretty quickly. After a several minutes we moved and tried a few more different spots, but stayed in the same general area. He got the opportunity to see a few doe bedding down and then running out of a meadow, away from someone walking their dog. After the deer we didn't see anything but birds the rest of the morning.
Was bummed that the friend didn't get to see much, but I did warn him hunting is called hunting and not killing for a reason.
It was warm, but not overly hot. Anybody have some early squirrel season tips for next time? May have just been the time of year. I saw the hunting card from a few guys just prior and neither bagged any.
