Way to shoot Ron, Im 0 for 3 this year with my selfbow. I hit where I was shooting but the skwerls had moved on.

Thanks Izzy. This is a ton of fun and great practice. I might go out again this evening. I went out to level up and strap down my ladder stand last night and the red squirrels were going "nuts" in some beech trees.

You guys are lucky, Squirrel season doesnt open till Oct. 15 here in NC. Keep up the good shooting!

Red squirrels are an unprotected species up here in NY. So we can hunt them year 'round with no bag limit if we want to.

Went out yesterday, it was so dry I couldnt get close!

You guys eat squirrel up north?

Sean B · September 14, 2012, 11:49:00 AM

Sure do. Alot of times I add it to my "Road Kill Stew", or I fry it. If I get enough, I'll just make a stew on its own.

Deer season opens before squirrel? That aint right.

Shot another one tonight, that's 2 so far with my homemade hybrid-flatbow.

ronp · September 16, 2012, 10:35:00 PM

Good shooting longrifle!

Thanks Ron, if you only knew how many times i missed this year you might think differently. Went out both a.m. and p.m. today missed a couple more times in the a.m. and hit and lost one tonight.It's hard to sneak up on them with 3 of my 4 children trailing behind me. Sometimes blunts work great and other times not so good.

Congratulations longrifle. Great shooting. If you think it's tough to sneak up on them with your kids, try sneaking up on them with mine! hahaha
