squirrel or not

[grtwhthunter/fisherman]

does anybody feel the same as myself? growing up we hunted anything that moved squirrels ,rabbitts,woodcock,bats, tweetys, extc then we graduated to DEER.problem lies here . we stopped hunting other stuff some due to no woods left ,but mostly cause we deer hunt now. well my son is now ten and i want him to experiance all the things we got to do, which he is already for deer i brain washed into him lol. he likes it . now i asked if he wanted to try squirrel hunting and hes in, i dont know where to take him cause i dont want to shoot up what? OUR DEER WOODS LOL. AND FEEL GUILTY TAKING HIM to other woods for fear of ruining someone elses deer hunt ya know. whats your thoughts? DOES ANYBODY STILL SQUIRREL HUNT OR R WE ALL JUST DEER FREAKS

Maybe take him over to some public land. The deer hunters might thank ya. You'll be keeping the deer moving for em!

I grew up squirrel hunting. I took my boy out last Saturday and got him his first squirrel. He's hooked and we now have another brother in the hunting fraternity.


Definitely start with squirrels. It's like fishing. You start with sunnies, then work your way up to marlin.

i plan on bait my deer stands into february and sit in them with my 22
figure i see some many squirrels deer hunting but have no luck when squirrel hunting

[MEAT-WAGON]

just try to be respectfull of the other hunters out there i would never give anyone grief over a hunting spot or what they were hunting my thought is theres allways tomorrow and if anyone starts giving you crap ask em to see theyr land lease state ground is for all of us we all pay for it but nun of us own it get that boy out there and have some fun :thup:

how many acres do you have? if 5 or more problem solved. if not go to local wma in early season before the place gets all shot up and there are no more squirrels left.

Take him out, the woods are for all sportsmen. Its not like your setting out to jam someone. We need to introduce the next genaration to hunting. I know for my daughter sitting for more than a 1/2 hour with no action is it.

Take him to the public land if you are afraid of ruining your deer woods. The public woods are for everyone. If you walk up on someone hunting deer, just act as you would want them to act if they walked up on you.

This is coming from someone who is bow hunting deer almost primarily on public land the last two years.

Take him out anytime the deer will just come back. I hunt the tree rats every day after work. The deer just come right back to the same place:bow:
