Tomorrow is the 15th? Dang that crept up fast!! I'm not a big weekday hunter, except during the rut or when on vacation. Good thing it's not important, as I'm stuck working extra doing online training at work. Then, I have to work some day shift for hands on training end of the week. Talk about messing up ones routine or schedule. Having to sacrifice some gym time recently. Nice to get a break, but better when I'm the one making that choice! So, opening week skurry hunting is looking dismal, and weekend near 90deg. 🙄

Only 4 teams, wow? Looks like there'll be a new champion since the defending champs aren't in it this year

Actually if I'm not mistaken there could be 5 teams, I thought it was suppose to be 4 members to a team and we have 5. Is that a mistake Woody or did you intend to do that?

I should have gone out at first light today. No wind. I'll see if I can hit the woods tomorrow morning if the weather allows. I can sneak away from work for an hour or so.

Great morning to be in the woods. You can add 5 squirrels to our team. The fifth squirrel I buried because it had the mange.

Nice! I've been out twice and seen squirrels but the place I hunt right now has fox squirrels off limits due to low population. So only grey's there.

No hunting this morning. 10+ mph winds and now raining.

One more for team three. The small wood lot where I hunt does not have many squirrels so it takes some effort and patience to get one. Of course the area where I deer and turkey hunt is loaded with squirrels but I prefer not to squirrel hunt there

In the 48 years I've hunted them here I've only seen 1 and gotten 1 gray here in Jay County and I was surprised I saw that 1. Dad told me back when I started it was all fox squirrels around here and that's all I'd ever seen until then. The gray was just a couple years ago.

Dad told me back when I started it was all fox squirrels around here and that's all I'd ever seen until then. The gray was just a couple years ago. I didn't start hunting squirrels hot and heavy until I got a driver's license. Back in the fall of '88 I didn't see very many grays in Daviess County unless it was on hardwood hills back off the road a ways. A few years ago I did not see many fox squirrels, but the last couple years seems like they have started making a comeback in the woods that I normally hunt. Any time I've hunted Hoosier National Forest in Orange or Lawrence County the only squirrels I saw were grays.
