You finished the season in style, only one miss in five squirrels, and a good follow up put him in the pot. Now, bring on the turkeys. I was happy to open KZfaq this morning and find another video of yours. I had a feeling you’d have something there to close out the season. As usual, good job!!!

Everything you said is exactly the way I go about squirrel harvesting. Just a great time and a great time to reflect on life.

Hi i'm from indonesia, i also hunt squirell but using multipump air gun cal. 177. We hunt and cook it. Mostly fried but sometimes roast it. Should be calm an make no noise so they come up eat fruits

Another reason I always find a big tree or rock to sit with my back against is to protect me from other public hunters who might not be so smart with their guns. Some idiots out there will shoot in the direction of noise ( turkey calls, deer grunts etc ) instead of confirming their targets first. Nice video, I really enjoyed it. JT

Thanks for the Video and advice Cumberland Outdoorsman 👍. Another definite Like ✅. Cheers 🙏🇨🇦

Outside of deer hunting squirrel hunting is my second favorite game to hunt but I've have enjoyed hunting with my 32 and 36 black powder Hawken rifles I'd like to see you get you a 32 or 36 and give it try I'm sure you would enjoy it as well as I do. And if you take your time you can work up a load that will bring the squirrel's home I've taken squirrel's out to 50yds but not all fall to the smoke pole but that's hunting but I'm 68 years old and my eyes are no longer and good for iron sights so I put a old weaver K-4 on my 36 and let me tell you the squirrel's are in trouble now. Lol. Keep the good stuff coming I really enjoy your videos !! 🐿 🍻

We just had our annual squirrel tournament (last Saturday in January) here in SE Nebraska. Our "late season" hunt had wind chills of -17°F. Twenty-nine 2 man teams participated. Great fun. Watching this video reminded me WHY I miss the South so much! Froze my frigging butt off!, but the comeradery made it all worth it.

Great advice , thanks

Excellent video...enjoyable with lots of good common sense advice. Makes me wish I was there with you!

Thanks for sharing your videos keep them coming please.

Excellent video!

Great video good advice 👍👍👍

Great video makes me want to go back to Kentucky I miss the mountains

I found your channel a few months ago and have been binge watching, really enjoy your content your style is like mine. Keep up the good work and making videos. thank you 👍👍

Late season squirrel hunting is a blast in South Louisiana I have a place I hunt next to interstate I 49 full of big old fat fox squirrels .Me my self I use a Ruger Model 77 .17 cal .But everything you sad about creeping up on these squirrels is spot on thanks and God Bless.🤠

Great video and advice 👍

I also have a Rem 581 but customized with a light weight match Broughton barrel and a Canjar trigger set at 1.25lbs. Late in the squirrel season, January - February, I use my Cooper 57M 22 mag for longer shots.

Great video! Thank you for the upload

Excellent tips, appreciate it. thank you.

Super Excellent tips on hunting late season. Thanks

Excellent video as always. You are living the dream. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the tips!

Very informative lots of good tips

Another very enjoyable production! Since my inept typing and 'puter skills keep sending my comments off into the ether, let me just compliment your efforts. I hope you are having as much delight in the outdoors as your videos convey. I am again delighted in your never making small game ammo recommendations based on 'relative splat factor'! Again, thanks for your efforts. Pax

Thank you for you info, experience, helps me to learn,,,faster,

GREAT INFO THANKS

I too live and hunt eastern Tn. ❤ Great video I hope you make an updated version this year squirrel hunt

Good video. When the leaves are off I use a 17Mach 2. It’ll stretch out.

Nice job on the video. 😊👍🏼

Exactly how I do it in eastern Virginia. Thanks

toughest time of year to hunt them. i really like to go out a day or so after a snow and sit near den trees in the afternoon. then i just sit like i'm hunting deer. i've gotten several from one tree before. one of my favorites was a big old white oak that was hollow and full of holes and was in the bottom of a gully. i'd sneak in through the hemlocks and park about 75 yards from the tree. unfortunately it blew down a few years ago. didn't get out yet in the late season but i have a few weeks left. hopefully we'll get some snow.

I'm new to squirrel hunting, let alone hunting in general, so don't take this as a guarantied way to bag squirrels. Now from my fresh and very recent experience, I've found lots of success by walking on farm fields that have been harvested (it just turned December today) and walking the outskirts of wooded areas. On a nice quiet day, with good sunlight, and at least 50degree temps, I can walk slowly along those wooded lines and listen for lots of leaf noise. I then hone in on the direction and find a decent clearing for a shot while stalking slowly to the noise. Nearly every time, I will spot 2-4 squirrels in the woods looking for food or playing around. I'm no perfect shot, but I've gotten atleast 1 squirrel with my 10/22 carbine in those encounters. Even though most of the leaves have fallen off of trees and brush becomes thinned out, it seems like they won't hear you, let alone see you coming during prime hours. Hope this might help someone new to hunting squirrels, or even more experienced hunters. I've been enjoying my first 3 hunts, bagging 5 squirrels so far in my lifetime. I do want to try to be more patient and sit, but the way I've been hunting so far seems to work out for now.

Nice rifle, and 22 shorts. great video.

Nice video. Nice looking rifle.

I got 55 years experience the first time I found the hunting is right. After a rain, I left the hunt and heal the water falling off the tree limbs when they jump from one limb to the end

Thank you.

Good mess of fine eating...good finish to a good year. See you for spring turkey?

Dear Sir at what yardage do you sight in your 22lr.scopes. I've watched a few videos on this. And heard several different things. Would you be kind enough to give me some. Advice I've not had dealings with scopes. On 22lr rifles now my eyes need a scope. Thank you very much

Wish i could wear just camo when i hunt squirrel but i have to have full orange on.

First video of yours I ever watched & really enjoyed it - Thanks fer being so generous & sharing. What state are you hunting ?, I take it Va.? - TIA

I love your channel and your videos. Very well done. Your videos are always interesting and informative. I have to tell you though, I crack up every time I hear other hunters say they “harvest” an animal. 🤣 It’s not a corn stalk, it’s an animal. We kill them, and that’s okay. I know it’s semantics, but I just thought I’d share my opinion, not that it matters. Lol. Keep up the great work!

Great advice unfortunately in state of Maryland we have to wear orange no camouflage. I have a dear friend we have been hunting together since 73 he loves squirrel hunting, actually more then deer. He does not have the patience for a 22lr his favorite is a Ithaca 37 feather weight, let me say really any shotgun we still carry single or double barrel if they give us a late season deer day. Advice to the young always remember simplicity, I carry a break open single shot if I see a dear I like can use a slug, and if not take squirrel with #6 shot always going home with meat and memories. Also remember to mark where the squirrel falls if you wait a few minutes another one might come out, if you move to soon after you shoot other squirrels will stay in hiding I like hunting the morning or afternoon just after a hard rain the leaves are quiet and the squirrels are restless usually great combination

Do you have an opinion about the use of squirrel calls, cracking/rubbing nuts together or scent lures? I live in Commiefornia and squirrel hunting has been banned in the southern counties since the 1980s. This summer I’m going to go up north and squirrel hunt for the first time and I want to be prepared.

Birds may be a good indicator…but here in northern Arkansas I’m surrounded by red headed woodpeckers and they are the noisiest buggers! I’ve often given up trying to hear squirrels when they’re around.

down deep south here in Savannah GA, always, always clear the base of the tree as there will probably be a snake nest as a dumb friend of mine discovered

What kind of 22 are shooting with what ammo?

Some good advice. What about rifles, shells, etc. A lot of youn hunters would benefit for some tips like those. Great footage.

Wonderful video! Beautifully restored Rem 581. I would love to restore mine! Quick question, and sorry if I asked this before! How do you deal with ticks? Thank you!

How is it possible to blend in wearing orange. Unfortunately in my state of PA it’s the (law)by the FISH@GAME. . It is difficult in late season, my go to gun is my .32 blackpowder.

I thought I was the only one who used 22 shorts.

Were you at Haynes bottom wma ?

I think a nice inexpensive small lightweight set of binoculars around your neck to use in your search while walking in slowly and spot and stalk the squirrels as you're going in to set up for you still hunting area !! What size of binoculars would you recommend if you preferred using them ?

I would like to see how you cook these squirrels. I used to love squirrel hunting as a kid but they would just stay in the freezer and never get eaten so I quit going.

I can hear a squirrel at 10:25-10:30 about.

👍🐿

What part of Tennessee are you in?

That little pouch with your ammo in it is super neat. Where could I get one? God Bless.

A pair of small bino's helps me,,,old eyes

👍

Solid advice. My advice is to not use such a shiny and reflective rifle.

Personally i would have stayed in the woods 20 yards from the corn field.

Looks like 22 short ammo your using. Mind if I ask what rifle your using?.

I've just subscribed to your channel

Magazine loaded hehe

Is that a marlin model 80

The best place to hunt squirrels is from your deer tree stand.

Enjoyed your video oltimer like me hope to c u in woods sometime i live in mich.good hunting much respect fred bear!!!!!!
