Anyone into Ozark squirrel hunting?

[lispeej]

I've read a lot of good stories on hunting in the ozarks. Has anyone done any squirrel hunting this year yet? If so, what are you stories and pics?

I used to do a lot of squirrel hunting! But now days my poor abused body can't take walking in the woods anymore, it was great fun to sneak thru the woods just as the sun was coming up and try to get close enough to the tree rats to get a few. Squirrel and Dumplings!!!!! Nothing better!

Wow! That is awesome.

Is the ozarks as packed with squirrels as they say? What part of the ozarks do you recall being the sweet spots for you?

Last weekend I was fishing at Lake of the Ozarks and saw a BUNCH! There seems to be a good acorn crop this year so anywhere should be good. Any place with oak trees would be a good place to start. Good luck!

Do they allow hunting at/near lake of the ozarks? Looks like the lake is surrounded by cabins.

Loz is surounded by houses. You could try around Mark Twain lake, there is COE land around there, you just have to watch out so you're not in a state park. Seen a lot up that way too!

GO CARDS!!!

Im itching to get out this year to try some squirrel hunting. When do the leaves fall off the trees and when do the ticks die off? What other precautions do I need to know about...ie. snakes, bugs...etc.?
