2023 squirrel hunting thread

IC/IAC has a carve out specifically for selling squirrel tails iirc.

No idea what you mean?

Indiana Administrative Code

No wonder I had no idea what you were talking about.

Indiana Administrative Code

Yep.

No wonder I had no idea what you were talking about.

Sorry should have been more clear. But yes Indiana admistrative code. It's where all the IN beuracracies set the regulations. The Indiana code says that the DNR can set seasons, limits,equipment used, etc. The IAC is where they do that along with every other dept and such.

Same with no firearms at the state Capitol building. The IC says the state police have control over security there so they made the rule of no firearms for us regular folk.

Call me strange (everyone else does) but if my breath doesn't fog my glasses when I look up into the tree it doesn't feel like squirrel hunting...

I would love to be out right now…… I will stick with my feathered friends this weekend until some of the fleas and ticks get knocked off the furry critters.

When that happens, I use my cat-like reflexes and flip them up into the air with my foot (I'm a lefty when it comes to kicking) and shoot them. From the hip!

The first weekend me and my buddy from Robinson game calls got to go out we used the Umarex gauntlet 2 .22 cal and the FX Impact .22 cal. Any questions on some good starter PCP give me a shout. Good hunting and be safe.

A good morning in Miami county. Out of the woods before the heat set in.

Do you fry them up or cook on the grill. Either way looks like some good eating.

Grill?????

Okay please explain. I tried grilling one ONCE.

Found out it was easier eating my hunting boot.

I cook them in a pressure cooker until tender, pick the meat from the bones, make a gravy, and serve over homemade biscuits.

If you boil them until fork tender or pressure cook for 15 minutes at 10# of pressure, you can grill, sauce, or fry them with success. Young ones can be successfully fried. Better be sure they're young though.

Decided to leave the air rifle home this morning. First time I've used a .22 in several years.

Looks like it still works...
Nice job.

Fox pressure cook at 10# for sure but them grey take heavy duty aluminum foil leave whole or 1/4 up season what you like with 1/2 stick of butter make a pouch crimp tight fold ends tight to hold in water or steam if you will set grill at 200 and cook for 2 or so hours cook slow depending on grill. I like to put soy sauce in mine garlic salt and season salt with a bit of meat tenderizer 1/2 stick butter.

I'd say Ruger 10-22, don't know about the year.
