In the August issue of FFG there is a story written by Jeffrey Miller titled "Squirrel Opener - An old family tradition." What a great story. He has a way with words that makes it seem as if you're on the hunt with them. I'm closing in on 60 years of age and squirrels have been a passion for as long as I can remember. There's nothing quite as relaxing as sitting in the woods on a beautiful Fall day listening to feeding squirrels and watching for a flicker of movement in the tree tops. Just a couple more months.....

I don't subscribe to FFG, can I read this on line or do I need to look at the news stand for a magazine. I'd love to read it...
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Pick up the magazine, you'll enjoy it. Here's the web site www.furfishgame.com

I have been time or twenty. But never got bit like hunting turkeys or deer. I do remember having some fun days getting my limit. Do most die-hard squirrel hunters hunt with rifle or shotgun?

I started with a shotgun cause that's how it was. Then as I got older I switched to a .22 and never looked back. I honestly love trapping and hunting deer, But squirrel hunting does it for me. Man I love being there, feeder trees..... Thanks K-zoo, I will do that

Asking if died hard squirrel hunters use a rifle or a shotgun? Could lead to the biggest fight you've never seen...lol
Killed a metric ton of squirrels with both. I'm a rifleman myself, but the first few I knocked out was with a shotgun, and a few occasional rabbit hunts turned squirrely.

Shooting a grey squirrel in the head with a .22 makes shooting a longbeard in the head with anything seem easy. Target is slightly less wary, but not on crack. That's the difference between squirrels and turkeys.

Jeff Miller is a good friend of mine, he's got some other stories he's working on too that should be very good as well. He's a coon eater, matter of fact I think he'd eat about anything... I'll let him know you enjoyed the article, he'll like to hear that.

Brains, hands down, ain't ate them since I was told about "mad cow" disease. So afterwords i became a head shooter.
The lower back is a gem on a squirrel, and a diamond on a chicken you do the math
