Catching Squirrels

[Chris Pope]

Squirrel season begins in many parts of the country soon. I don't hunt squirrels but sure would like to see some hunting photos this year featuring some Parkers and squirrels! In the mean time, here's a photo of our Griff, "Fish" trying to catch a squirrel on TV that was running loose at Yankee Stadium Friday night during a game with the Red Sox. It created quite the stir both here at home and at Yankee Stadium.

FYI- Sox win 1-0 in a classic.

Now that's a great idea! The season is next week here. Perhaps a photo with my 16g Trojan would make it, we'll see.

Great shot, Chris. My Wirehair, Eva, climbed up about ten feet into a cedar tree to catch a squirrel. When they came to ground, the squirrel was dead. The squirrel obviously misjudged the dog's climbing ability.

But...but...the quail flew into the tree. I promise



Never caught the wily Kansas backyard squirrel

Miss that guy. I bet heaven is now littered with shot-peppered Dr. Pepper cans.

Squirrel hunting is dear to my heart. It was how I learned to hunt as a boy, with a .410. I started selling squirrels for a quarter apiece. My shells cost 12 cents each, so if I made a one shot kill I made 13 cents. It was crucial to not need a second shot, to stay in the black.

When I got hold of a .22 I thought I'd get rich, relatively speaking, for a 11 year old.

Never went back to a shotgun for squirrels.

I sure miss ol’ Charlie Cleveland’s stories of his “squirl” hunting escapades.

I love hunting them with one of my vintage .22's.
