Sept 4 squirrels

[dspeakes]

I was in the Ozarks this past weekend. The acorns are falling early and there was a lot of cuttings on the ground. I am going to do my best to do some thinning of the population up there on Saturday morning. graemlins/thumb.gif

[DODGEMAN]

[DODGEMAN]

Rattle I might have to go out and sit with my son and shoot a few or just watch him, he likes dove hunting. graemlins/thumb.gif

[Rattle-m-up™]

i like it a lot too, especially if there are lots of birds...

[xring]

I'm a going a squirrel huntin saturday, one way or t'other. I'd sure like to find some young greys, cutting hicker nuts, some that are still dumb enough to keep cutting while I get in my practice shots!!!

Yall what have already been out looking, are they up on the ridges or down on the creeks???
maybe the heads of a hollar, mostly on hicker nuts I guess?

Now don't be bashfull,,give up the imformation!!

[DODGEMAN]

You better practice. :D

[Remington]

they cutting hickory nuts here...mostly on ridges...seen a few down in the creek beds though ...they is so many up here this year hard to say where exactly

[xring]

Can yall draw a map of from here to there? I won't need to know how to get back, if theys that many,,,I'd be wanting to stay till I run outta shells,,,,Just bought 5500 so I'd probally have to stay over night!!!

[Remington]

Come on up we will kick a few dogs out and have a grand time...imma be doin it anyways with or without

[DODGEMAN]

X you think you can get 8 with that many shells? graemlins/thumb.gif

[Earnhardt fan #1]

Darrel I noticed that the acorns around our place are still green and the squirrels are still eatin gthem up

Why if their still green??

[xring]

Appreciate it there Remington, I may just come up your way,,,driving and looking, I do love to hunt them squirrels!!!!

Dodgeman, the way I shoot,,,maybe, just maybe,,,but maybe not,,,my ole crooked barreled .22 ain't what she used to be, course that could be said for me also!

[Remington]

Dodge, iffin the dogs put em up the tree they sitting there all still and lookin down even you might be able to hit one

[xring]

Remington, I think Dodgeman is better at telling'em how than he is at doing it!!! :D

[DODGEMAN]

Mr. Xring, I hope all the guests enjoy our posts as much I do. And no you ain't tricking me into bringing my .22 on this trip, I could bet you probably can shoot the pecker off a flea at 1000 yards. graemlins/smack.gif

[Remington]

just thought it was his time since he likes to rib on everyone else..... graemlins/thumb.gif your welcome dodge

[deerhunter]

I guess I'll be over at Bayou Deveiw Saturday morning trying to lay the hurt to some fuzzy tails. :D

[xring]

THIS AIN'T CAMPFIRE,,,I wish you were right there Dodgeman,,,but I'm a legend only in my mind. To old and blind to be a threat in the shooting circles,,,still enjoy it as much as always, just getting harder to put em in the xring.

[Earnhardt fan #1]

I'll be in Sylamore WMA :D layin the SMACK DOWN on some fuzzy tails!!!!! graemlins/thumb.gif

[DODGEMAN]

I didn't notice ole rusty barreled Remington taking a shot at the Dodge? I think that boy is going to fit in just fine. Oh yea Rem. do yall use guns up there? I heard yall hillbillys are so ugly you don't even need a gun yall just ugly them to death? lol riflsttmn :D graemlins/thumb.gif

[xring]

LIGHTBULB,,,FLASH,,FLASH,,IDEA,,Saturday evening, night, lets all post our results of the days hunt,,,AND see who witness's the unusual
death of posion snakes,,,the kind and size,,AND the REPORTED accounts leading to his demise!!
This should get some imaginations in high gear!!!

I understand that there are those amoung us who cannot tell a lie,,,but I could make an exception this time. What about it?

[Remington]

Usually just knock em outta the tree with a rock them grab them by the tail and whack em up against a tree... graemlins/smack.gif When the wives hunt we sit em by the tree when they come down she never fires a shot and still kills a limit

[Remington]

Im game...me and Ty-Bo67 and maybe hafta drag stubgut around the woods with us too but we be posting some treerats

[DODGEMAN]

Rem. I don't know your wife or what see looks like so I won't tell you that I heard those hillbilly wives tore'em up too bad. graemlins/smack.gif

X I thought we were squirrel hunting, the snakes usually are on the ground, you mean you look down when you squirrel hunt? :confused:

[Remington]

aint married...If'in he is looking down while squirrel hunting remind me to take him on other side of place and let him out with the old crippled, cant see, wont get outta sight dog graemlins/thumb.gif

[xring]

Remington,,hunting early like this, do you have any trouble getting your dogs snakebit? I have a little rat terrier, he is gun shy, but always hated to take him early, afraid he'd get bit, and My mom would rather it be me got bit as him!!

If he had not been gunshy, he would have been a good little dog,,I know thats like saying if I was rich,,,I wouldn't have been poor!!!

[xring]

Boy, you slammed the outhouse door pretty hard there Remington,,,Heck, I won't look down,,,much!

[DODGEMAN]

X if you were rich your women would probably looked alot better too. graemlins/smack.gif

[Remington]

I turn em out as soon as the law allows and aint had one bit yet...they runnin too much, not necessarily squirrels, but just movin all the time as to why i dont think they get bit...However me on the other hand tends to be a little skittish the early in the year... The copperheads are still out in full force and they and me aint never seen eye to eye\

[xring]

Understood there Remington, I have a dislike for snakes also, I have violated the law more than I'd care to admit when it comes to leaving a posion snake unharmed! What part of the state is ravenden located? I looked in my atlus, but couldn't find Ravenden?? What is the terain like, I have hunted up around MountainView, and the ground is covered with golf ball sized rocks that make walking tough...

[Remington]

in your atlas look for hardy or imboden if it shows them im right in the middle...if not follow hwy 63 outta jonesboro...approx. 45 miles outta Jonesboro is ravenden....bout 45 miles from Missouri...Terrain is hills...Rocks...Bluffs with a creek bed or two

[xring]

Man, you a long ways from the Valley!!!!I reconized Hardy,,,coldest place in Arkansas most of the time!!! I suspect I better hunt a bit closer to home, as I'd have to leave tonight to be there opening morning!!! Slow old truck!!! And a slow old man driving it!!!

I envy you being up there with all them squirrels, I'd lose a crop if they were like that here!!!

[Remington]

will show ya pics of what ya missed...since im such a nice guy graemlins/thumb.gif ;)

[xring]

I'd appreciate that Remington,,,I don't have the equipment or knowledge to put up pictures,,,I'm a newbie to this computer stuff!

[xring]

Hagwoodhunter, I saw your name at the bottom of the page,,,I found the squirrel holder/skinner, but my friend hasn't made an apperance to take a picture of it and help me get it on here,,,but I will as soon as he gets by,,,,xring

[DODGEMAN]

Could we just ask you not be in the picture, I know it is customary to show your weapon, but we have seen your face on another thread. :D graemlins/smack.gif graemlins/thumb.gif

X there ain't nothing to the posting of the pictures, I am sure MB would come by and show you how to do it. If I can do it you can, also if me and deerhunter can get a guy posting them all the way from South Carolina, I know we can get you posting them. graemlins/thumb.gif

[xring]

I;m as hardheaded as a anvil,,,WW told me how but I forgot to much to mess with it, I don't understand the cut and paste stuff,,,and I'm to tired to mess with it tonight,,,I've been up since about 430 this morning soooooo I'm pretty much out of it.

[Remington]

Wont show the handsome hunter in the pic afraid if i did these guys wives would be knocking on my door graemlins/smack.gif graemlins/smack.gif

[DODGEMAN]

One day when there is nothing going on we will work on it if you want to, I am like you Steven had to show me. graemlins/smack.gif

[dspeakes]

Efan - the acorns still looked green to me but the squirrels are tearing them up. Usually they are eating hickory nuts but there are a lot of acorns on the ground already.

xring - there aren't any computers up there where I hunt so I guess I will have to let you know on Monday about the snakes and squirrels that I see this weekend. I won't be far from Remington. Where I hunt is in the middle of nowhere between Ravenden, Williford, Smithville, and Imboden.

[xring]

Dspeakes,,,that would be refered to as Gods Country,,,Few places left in arkansas that can boast having all that!!!!

Have a good and safe hunt and I'll wait until monday if I have to!

[rjet]

You guys are killin me. Sure wish I could go squirrel huntin this weekend. :(

[DODGEMAN]

You and me both, brother. graemlins/smack.gif graemlins/thumb.gif

[dspeakes]

xring - you are correct. It is God's country. I am really looking forward to being in the woods actually hunting something again. I have seen so many deer up there this year that I am really ready for Oct 1st. There are several big bucks roaming around this year.

rjet and Dodgeman - I will do my best to enjoy it enough for all of us. graemlins/thumb.gif I will enjoy the good food, squirrel hunting, scouting for deer, and the good fellowship with friends and family. We eat up there better than I do at home. :D

[DODGEMAN]

That is what I am talking about, as long as we kill enough to eat I am happy. graemlins/thumb.gif
