I was just wondering if there was anyone else that does squirrel hunting with air guns. Main reason is I'd like to go hunt with someone at some point.

Funny I had a hunt buddy but he past on. But when would squirrel hunt we always separate and meet after and compare story’s……. Now I moved to Saluda NC and hunt on my 5 acres I own. I average 2-3 squirrels a morning. All grays I miss those Hugh north Louisiana reds / black squirrels But Squirrel season opened on October 17th. Now all the squirrels feed on the ground. No nuts in the trees and it makes it hard to see them not so easy as in the trees. But here in Saluda mountains I feed deer in my front yard and shoot squirrels in the back yard.

But the only neighbor up here has 40 acres. I could ask to hunt her private land ….. I’m on the South Carolina border a plus.

I hunt grays on public land. I could go to my aunt and uncle's 7acres to try and bag some. Funny enough now that they are trying to get the nuts on the ground I can spot them a lot easier, the rustling leaves help.

See my drive, it measures about 80 yards to dirt road. I’ve shot several squirrels at the edge of the drive trough the eye from my porch Plus one that was running to the other side of the road in the back of his head. My new Brocock Commander XR magnum. Just is amazing …… slugs or pellets in 25.39 gr Looking at Brocock new bill pup Candy.

The woods are dry and full of dry leaves. I have a brush pile I have to burn but I’m waiting for wet weather. Squirrels here are on the ground. Only go to trees if spooked. They can be 10 ft away and you can’t see them , and yes the air here is the freshest I’ve lived in the moutains of Colorado for 15 years but it’s more beautiful here ….. I live in one the best and clearest ozone areas in the world sooooo nice.
