Went out to Willow Slough Saturday after work to see if I can get me some Squirrels and didn't see any .
I believe it's time to find a new place to hunt , 12 years of hunting there and never harvested anything .

Don't give up, change locations, change the way you hunt.

Take a fold up chair, find some acorn cuttings, and SIT STILL I sit on a chair that’s a camouflage color, I wear a leaf suit, I wear camouflage gloves and I wear a mask and put on rubber boots. My shotgun is wood and I sit in one area for at least 4 hours before I get up and move.

My shotgun is wood and I sit in one area for at least 4 hours before I get up and move. Not to be funny, but that's one time I would say you need to move! It takes 10-15min for the area to calm back down, so if you dont see any movement in half hour to an hour, move on to next area. Look for a den tree, a big oak with cuttings below hopefully, lots of branches, etc. There can be multiple squirrels there. Good luck.

Mossberg500 maybe just maybe your not cutout for hunting.
Have you ever tried fishing?

Looking for little flashes of movement is way easier when the backlight is bright. I would never have known I was into them last weekend if I hadn’t caught them rubbing with the sun behind em.
