2025 squirrel hunt

[1100LT20]

Second Saturday of Louisiana squirrel season. Got 4 grays this morning, saw more but didn’t attempt to stalk through the palmettos due to warm temps and cottonmouths. Maybe a gumbo is in my future?

Nice! My dad started me on squirrel hunting when I was a kid with a 20 gauge. I enjoyed it, but enjoyed hunting rabbits, pheasants, and grouse more because I didn't have to sit still. During my college years, I went back to squirrel hunting but with a .22 (Marlin 39a and I still have it.) Eventually, I wanted more challenge and went to a .22 pistol with iron sights. Only killed a few with it. Once I started archery hunting for deer, I gave up squirrel hunting except for taking out kids. I kinda miss it.

Is that a Fox double?

Lol, I wish! It’s a Stevens 311 chambered in 20 gauge. My dad purchased it new in the early 80’s. I try to take all my shotguns out for at least one squirrel or duck hunt every season.

I wish I had enough time to take each one of my shotguns out for at least one squirrel or duck hunt every season. I've started giving them away to my son-in-laws so I have less picking choice. But the Rem 870 usually gets the nod. Did that gumbo happen? I enjoy eating squirrel
