Umm try bradshaw down in new prague I think.

[onlydrakes4me]

Southern MN tons of them down here

[Phooj]

does anyone own some land and dont hunt them?

[Powerstroke]

I'm sure if you took a drive around your area and found some woodlots with oaks, walnuts, and other mast trees you will find squirrels. Ask the homeowners if they mind you hunting squirrel. I can't imagine anyone will tell you no, except there are always a few.

[onlydrakes4me]

what powerstroke said. Otherwise check out public state hunting land that has hardwood trees.

squirrel season ended on February 28, 2009. It is illegal to shoot them until the season opens again on September 19, 2009.

Oh man!! My friends and I hunt tree rats like crazy down here every season! its so much fun! My place is surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods, and finding a plentiful spot is basically right at my finger tips:) ha ha do i sound hick or what??

[onlydrakes4me]

Yes I know the season ended. If you would look at Phooj post you would see that he is looking for a spot come September.

what is tree rat?

Another word for a SQUIRREL.

Last year made it out twice. Rat hunting is the start of an addiction to hunting!

A couple years ago, while out phaesant hunting we shot a large Red squirrel that was about the size of a house cat. I had a buddy call his taxidermist to see how much it would cost to mount it, and he replied:

"I don't mount squirrels!"

.....I was kind of dissapointed.

HA HA HA that's Hilarious. Although would have been cool to see a squirrel that big

[Jim Uran]

It must have been a fox squirrel right???

Where you located?

[UdeLakeTom]

If you find the right farmer with a corn crib..he probably will let you clean the squirrels out of there. They can raise havic on corn cribs.

I have squirles in my yard that are the size of a small cat. They are huge. A few of them have pushed their luck when I'm shooting bow in the back yard and they are only a few feet away. It would be cool to have a big one mounted up I think it would be cool to see in a house!

[Alex Zuhlsdorf]

Yeah those little guys cost a pretty penny to get mounted!!! i had a guy from Mankato stuff 2 black squirles i shot and it cost me just over $500!... but they sure look awesome up in my room

[Dan189]

yea....i'm not too familar with the variety of squirrel types/families.

All I know is that they don't even crack my top 10, probably 20 animals to get mounted, although that one was HUGE.

maybe if I saw an albino one, that would be pretty sweet.

[Alex Zuhlsdorf]

Yeah i can see how they would. But when you get brought up hunting them all your life and get a few black ones or a unique one like that, its an accomplishment! haha and dont get me wrong i hunt everything there is to hunt around here as well! not just tree rats.

I love squirrel hunting. I got some great woods around me that are full of mature oaks and consequently, lots of squirrels. I also hunt state land up north that holds lots of squirrels. This last season I got my limit 3 or 4 times. Lots of good chewing there!

[Phooj]

wow drewski maybe the upcoming season if you dont mind me hunting you woods it would be nice? what do you think?
