    Default Squirrels

    What is the squirrel season?

    From the info I found, it appears to be:
    Oct. 18 - Nov. 29
    Dec. 15 - Dec. 23
    Dec. 26 - Feb. 7

    is that correct?

    I'm laid off and was thinking of something different to do instead of hanging around inside the house. Haven't hunted squirrels in a long time. Plus I have a nice new Savage .22 that has only had a taste of paper.

    You are correct. If you wanted you could hunt crows fri, sat and sun from July4th - April 5th. Could hunt groundhogs... but I think that is pretty much it until next season....

    crap...they should allow squirrel all year.

    isn't it a bit early for groundhog? I know my dad and my one uncle love hunting groundhogs in the summer.

    WOODCHUCKS (GROUNDHOGS): No closed season, except: Sundays; during the antlered and antlerless deer seasons; and until noon daily during the spring gobbler turkey season.
    I've never hunted them so I don't know. That is from the PGC website. It would be nice to have squirrel all season because lord knows I could use the practice...

    You can also hunt Coyotes and Spring Gobbler is not too far away.

    I have no interest in turkey. Coyote might be interesting.My dad got some type of animal caller device and wanted to try it out. have to find somewhere to do that though.

    I don't know anything about hunting coyote. Any tips, like where are good places (fields, forest, etc), best time of the day, etc?

    You could probably find lots of places to hunt groundhogs (whistlepigs) right now. You probably won't kill very many, unless you take a backhoe with you. This would be because they are mostly about 5 feet down, hibernating. Bwahahaha . But, you CAN hunt them, if you really want to. You could also hunt saltwater crocodiles in the Neshaminy Creek.
    I apologize. I'm a little weirded out on meds at the moment and am having one of those episodes where everything I see or hear, is hilarious. Wish you all could join me, we would have a ball. MUST stop typing now!
