Day 44 of the 2021 Squirrel Season

Post by HunterGKS »

I had lunch today with 2 farmers whose property I hunt, Brad = turkey & squirrel, Kenny = squirrel.
I told them that, except for 1 tiny fawn, I had seen no deer or turkey on all my trips squirrel hunting.
I planned to hunt Kenny’s woods for squirrel but decided to take the 20 on the off chance that a bird
would show up.

It was 84, sunny with some clouds, & a stiff breeze at 12:25 when I sat down at my usual spot. At
13:48, a squirrel started to chatter behind me. It was barely audible so I couldn’t spot it. At 14:18,
a doe, the 1st mature deer I have seen this fall, trotted along the west edge of the woods heading north.
It cut into the woods going east. I was able to get my camera out & got a few pics before she decided
that she didn’t like the clicking sound & took off still going east.

At 14:42, I looked to my left &, lo & behold, there were 3 turkeys walking down the trail right to me.
I waited until they were close enough & separated & took the closest 1, a young jake. I have killed
fall birds in WV & NY but this is my 1st in OH.

I went to the truck & swapped out 20 for the .17 & sat until 15:30 when it just got too hot. It was 88,
still sunny with some clouds, & an even stronger breeze.

I may try another woods in the morning that I haven’t hunted yet.

Looks like it'll start dropping into the 70s then 60s starting tomorrow. T-storms tomorrow which may screw up my plans.

Thx. Good luck tomorrow. My plans may have to change as they're calling for intermittent t-storms all day.
