    Default Decent squirell hunting spot within 2hrs of Bucks area

    I'm looking to do a weekend getaway squirell hunt with a few friends. Can anyone suggest a decent area that's within in 2hr drive of the Bucks/Philly area?

    Leave the squirrels alone, please. They are needed to plant trees to combat global cooling/warming/change/whatever.

    Ask Gunlawyer for his address in Qtown, he baits them.

    I see an albino monster in my back field from time to time.

    One day......he will be mine.

    My friends and I are going to Evansburg state park in season. Don't know if there are many there but we are going to try small game hunting. I saw what I think was rabbit crap all over the place. Saw a lot of deer tracks also.
    Some people just plain suck.
    If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.

    Evansburg has a lot of squirrel and deer. The deer get hit pretty hard in the archery season so expect them to be hard to find by rifle (er...shotgun) season.



    SGL 139 and 157 have squirrel too, and are both about an hour away from Bristol, right here in Bucks.

    Do people get rabbit in Evansburg? That is what I am looking foward to. I have a hankering for some rabbit burgers or tacos.

    Rabbit are difficult to hunt without dogs. My #1 spot for squirrel is loaded with rabbit, see tracks EVERYWHERE in the snow, but I have never seen one while hunting. It can be done, but I have had no luck at it.


    The good news is that squirrel tastes about the same...you just need more of them!

    I agree with Firebird about the rabbits. I used to hunt a small Gamelands near Schnecksville that was 50/50 woods and fields. The multiflora rose was really bad. I used to sit down in a thicket when it was still dark during deer season. When there was snow on the ground you could see rabbits hopping around all over in there. Come daylight, nothing. The multiflora rose has hundreds of ground hog holes under it. Most beagle guys do not even bother to hunt there. We used to "Drive" rabbits in the 2nd season. You could try that.

    Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
