ny squirrel season

[ericmerg]

getting out again this morning hope i can smack a fat one

Cool! I want to see the squirrel that falls to the 70# bow, though.......

[ericmerg]

well i missed a shot at 15 yards so far , he might have chunks of the rock that exploded next to him stuck in him though

Nice work on the red,they're hard little buggers to hit.

I been layin em right out,our season opens up with your guys'.Been using a .22 though,had to hurry and get some so the old lady could make me up a nice pot of squirrel jambalaya.    

Gonna try to get out with the 54# silvertip and some woodies with ace hex heads this weekend,maybe.

I went Mon. morning until 11:30. I saw about 10 of them and killed one with my homemade Hybrid Flatbow after missing him with the first shot. I also missed 5 other times. I found out when I do well hunting tree rats with the bow , it makes me a much better deer hunter.

wish the place I hunt them was better for bows. Its to thick, the squirrels almost never are on teh ground and they take cover every time you move. Really tricky with bow.  Im heading out around 6 or 7 am (when ever the rain stops) but the bows staying home today, airguns time to shine. will deffinatly try with the longbow befor ehte season ends though

longrifle, You must do pretty well at hunting tree rats because you do really well with the deer!

I went out Saturday morning with my new Shrew.  No squirrels down.  But there was an unlucky chipmonk that got in the way of a flying 1916 Easton Jazz with a 125gr hammerhead attached to it:

[ronp]

OUCH!

[ericmerg]

thats a dang pretty bow... i need to pick up a shrew one of these bows

[ronp]

Thanks Eric.  It's a nice shooting bow.

[nybowman]

Ron, great shot and a beautiful bow you got there.

[ronp]

Thanks Ron.  I hope to get out again this week-end.

[longrifle]

Just got back home from hunting,missed 6 more times tonight, smacked one off the side of a tree but,didn't recover him. They are in the shagbark hickory's.

[nybowman]

I'm gonna try to go out this afternoon. I've been working alot and need some time in the woods. Ron, we should get together some time and go stumping.

[ronp]

Here is that unlucky critter.

[ronp]

Hey Ron,

There are plenty of good stumps over in the Klondike Forest.  Lots of acorns dropping this year, too.  Quite a bit of the area is open hardwoods with little undergrowth.  Great for stumping.  It is about 7 or 8 miles east of Parish in West Amboy.

This fella made the mistake of running parallel to me in a ditch while I was walking a logging road.
