    Those gray squirrels are good to eat also. They don’t stand a chance at my place once the season opens. Once you get the hang of skinning them they are good to eat. I used to look forward to squirrel season. A friend and I had a thing about who could get a limit of 10. We would each take 10 .22 shells and more often than not we each got a limit. But that was long ago, I can still shoot just can’t get around anymore.

    When I was much much younger I used to shoot groundhogs, with some friends. If you didn’t hit them in the head it cost you a beer. I shot one at 460 paces grazed his chin and went through his neck. Cost me a beer. But cats in the Woods were history if we saw them. It is unbelievable the amount of wildlife they kill. I have seen one take a rabbit. The number of birds and other wildlife they kill is phenomenal. I used to have some large lizards in my yard but the neighbors cat killed them off. The last straw was was when his cat started peeing on my front door. I finally told him if his cat came in my yard again it would be the last time. Never did see it again.

    No season for us to bother about in the UK, or bag limits for this dreadful foreign pest!

    That’s almost enough to make me move back to the UK. If I wasn’t so old. I did love to squirrel hunt, the best part is eating them. Once you learn how to skin them the easy way. I sure would love to put a dent in the population.
