Hello! On Saturday, a coworker and I are going to try to do some squirrel hunting at Jasper-Pulaski. I've never hunted public land before. It has always been on private property. We both have all the proper licences and we will both be hunting with .22LR rifles. Our plan as of now is to try to get there a little before sunrise so we can make our way into the woods and -hopefully- find a good place to set up and wait for the squirrels to come out. I do have a few questions though, and they are as follows:
1.) Does Jasper-Pulaski require you to check-in somewhere before hunting?
2.) If you are familiar with Jasper-Pulaski, are there any areas particularly good for squirrel? Where might they be?
3.) Does our plan sound good or would you recommend another strategy?
4.) I'm planing on zeroing my scope for 25yds-35yds. Is that a good distance? (first time hunting squirrel with a .22LR)
5.) I have my lifetime LTCH. Am I able to carry (CC or OC) at Jasper-Pulaski?
6.) Do you have any additional tips / tricks for squirrel that might aid in a successful hunt?
7.) Can you think of anything I'm missing or might need to be aware of before going to Jasper-Pulaski?
I'm kinda sad this will be my first hunt in a few years and there's only a few days left for squirrel season, but I'm VERY excited to finally get back out into the woods!
Thanks in advance everyone!
