I was just reminded that the new Spring squirrel season has started and we haven't done anything about planning a Trad Hunt. What's everyone's schedules?
-
Wow, hold on there, i have been gone two years and there is a spring squirrel season ? ok, so i am immagining the entire state is now beeing taken over by squirrels, my house is full of nutz, my family hostage. Ok, sorry, i sometimes have an over active immagination. fill me in guys ?

This is the first year it's been available and only on private land and select WMAs. To quote VDGIF website:
June 2-23, 2007 (Only on specific wildlife management areas listed below):
Amelia, Big Survey, Briery Creek, Chickahominy, Dick Cross, Dismal Swamp, Fairystone (including Fairystone State Park and Philpott Reservoir), Goshen, Havens, Hog Island (Carlisle Tract only), Horsepen, James River, Pettigrew, Phelps, Powhatan, Thompson, Turkeycock Mountain, and White Oak Mountain Wildlife Management Areas.
Fox squirrels may only be harvested on Big Survey, Goshen, Havens, Phelps and Thompson Wildlife Management Areas.
Hunting squirrels with dogs is not allowed during the June season.

Wow, thats great ! Thanks for the info Chuck, i guess i am a little outta the loop these days. I wont tell the wife, just what she wants to hear, that there is another season open. Good luck, if i were there i would be right there with ya.
-
I just checked with VDGIF and private property is included. The wording is a little ambiguous since there's no mention of private property. I had forgot about it until someone PM'ed me to see if we were still meeting. I was taking the kids fishing last weekend so couldn't go anyways. I've got a TON of squirrels (grey and fox) I'd like to thin out before deer season. How long you staying in UK? On post?

So just what are you suggesting Mr. Browder?
I had not realized that private property was open as well. Is that state-wide?
-
Yep! I was just telling BigRonHuntsALot that I was willing to have some guys shoot my squirrels if they want to take time out from STAR.
-
That sounds like a great idea! You're breakin' my heart though...I was really excited when I heard about STAR and this makes it even better - but I will be out of state from Saturday a.m. 'til Sunday night for family obligations.
I hope you can get something going and you have a great time!
-
any day but saturday's will work for me. maybe we can put something together during the week....
-
If you were a little closer Paleface we could do an after work evening hunt. :)
-
Do y'all want to try to do Powhattan WMA again? I had a BLAST last time! Maybe we can get the same group together again.

Scary looking bunch if you ask me :eek: I can take some time away from STAR to get together, maybe Sat Afternoon? (6/16) Or I can do central VA Sat 6/23.

I may even have some hot tea for you UK. LOL
-
Methinks the man will take a cold one in this warm weather!!
-
Talondale i can take any day off during the week, but my weekends are slammed this time of year with that dirty word work. i'm also headed up to MI for the Comptons Rendezvous next weekend. if you know a good spot to hunt after work one afternoon i can make the trip, it's only about a 3 hour drive from here.
-
I'm saving the rest of my T.O. for our coming baby and a few days in deer season, so an evening hunt would be the only feasible choice. If we go after STAR I'll let you know how well things go and maybe we can try a repeat during a weekday evening. We've got lots of greys and fox squirrels. Those fox types are pretty cagey though, it will be tough getting a shot on them.
-
Yep, Tea might be out of the question, cold refreshment might be a better course of action :D at this time of year, gotta stay hydrated!

What is the latest idea of location/date?
-
I can't make it but I hope you guys get something going. :archer:
-
Duane you can slip away for an afternoon hunt can't you? any dates and times been confirmed yet, we are running out time here...
-
Really wish I could Rob, Chuck is only one county north. I am booked solid until July 5 and most of that is out of town, so I have to get all that work done in only 5 days this week.
Rally the gang and get after them - I've been seeing a lot of squirrels lately....
-
I can't make it now either. I'm on my way this morning to take the Mrs. for a woman thing proceedure. She'll be down and out for awhile.
Y'all have fun if'n all y'all go.
:archer:
-
Hmmm, Adam, sounds like it may be just this weekend with you, and Ron, and I. I had a big fox squirrel in the yard this morning as I went out the door for work. I'll PM ya'll my cell phone # so we can firm things up. We only have this week and next to do anything. Still haven't heard a peep from Killie, nc recurveman, or string cutter. Forester, we should try and meet up some time.
-
How about Tom? he will be at shoot.
-
I'd love to go but i'm planning on going to the Dixie Bowmen shoot on saturday.
-
Yeah, Tom is more than welcome to come. The more the merrier.
-
Sure wish I could make it. But now I'm a single Dad, I ain't even had time to shoot at all.
Might bring my little one to Dixie though since it's 10 minutes from the house and do some walkin' around. Be nice to see some of you guys...
-
I'd like to hunt but am just in Roanoke for the day- and you know Va. for Sunday hunting(insert a bad word here). Hope you have a good time. Shot a squirrel the other day and it was pretty bumpy-warbles??? Hope to be at the shoot around 9am-see y'all then.
