Man I enjoyed yalls hunt and video. Let me share something with you. I used to take my gunstock and finish off rabbits and squirrels like that. I finished off dozens of them. One day I finished one off and the shotgun discharged. It tore the hat off of my head and nearly deafened me. I still have trouble this day hearing. .The hammer wasn't back either. Be safe. 👍
I NEVER do this because I know someone who was accidentally shot by someone trying to finish off a raccoon they shot while raccoon hunting. The gun went off while hitting the raccoon in the head with the stock of a .410 shotgun. My uncle was hit in the stomach at close range. He survived but it did permanent damage
I never use my gun to bludgeon wounded game, very dangerous! So when it comes to shotguns on squirrels, I learned to do a fast Texas Two Step😅 be careful and have fun
quick question, i hunt sam houston alot and cant seem to find as many squirrels as yall. typically i only find a few of them in hardwood bottoms. have yall had any luck in sam houston, if so how did yall go about hunting.
Yes, there are a lot of squirrels in East Texas from what I've experienced. Just gotta go scout and find the areas that have a lot of oaks compared to the amount of pines. Like you said though, you can always find some by creeping through most bottoms or along creeks. I like to slip through the woods and watch for them jumping and shaking branches, or listen for the sounds of them eating and dropping pieces of acorn or pinecone on the ground. Try to creep closer or make any other movement while they're also moving. You can also try to creep up on ones you hear barking in the distance. You'd be surprised how close you can get to those and get a shot off before they get nervous and take off. Squirrel hunting for me is usually better early season because they're all in the trees eating and there's still leaves in the trees that can block their vision. They're on the ground a lot more late season and the lack of leaves exposes us and our orange vest and hat a lot more. I hope this helps man, good luck the rest of the season. Feel free to ask any more questions or if you need me to clarify anything. -Pineman
I have no idea. I pick pellets out before I cook them when I notice them, but we never really go through and try to remove them all. You bite into a pellet on occasion, but we always just eat squirrel like we do fish that has bones in it.
We only have a limit of 6 squirrels. You guys are lucky. But quit beating them with your gun butt. Just step on their head and maintain the pressure for a count of 12.
