Yay!, I am in the comfort of home.  The 2 day hunt, we got 4 squirrels, 3 yesterday and 1 today, early this morning in that forest I was shivering and cold.  The last hunt, it was up in this steep terrain and I decided to stay in the car.  A house was right across the hunting land so it wasn't that scary being alone.  No luck during this hunt and after that we left for home.

It was a wonderful hunting trip, got to see some beautiful fall colors and leaves falling in some parts of the state.  Also, got plenty of excercise!  Next week, we plan to do another hunting trip up near the Duluth area...

I've learned that the northern parts of the states have mostly grey squirrels, not fox squirrels.

From about south of the Twin Cities down to the west and all the way south, there are large fox squirrels.

The eastern and southeastern parts of the states seem to have a blend but more black squirrels also.

I rather bring the lady with me than let her sit in the car by herself.  Anything can happen out there in them woods. 

I don't invite you for a trip like that just to have you carry my gears or stay back and watch the car.  I rather for you to stay hm for at least I know you are safe. 

So what you gonna do with them kill?  A Hmong friend gave me one before and I was surprised how heavy it was, wrapped in that aluminum foil.  Gave it to my people to cook it but they ended up placing it in our big freezer.  You know how it is with freezer like new meat are placed on top so the bottom stuff are lost at the bottom.  Years later when we cleaned out the freezer, the squirrel was found at the very bottom.  Had to throw it away.  What a waste.

The terrains today and yesterday were steep hill  and I made it through one and decided to wait for him while he checked out the squirrel hunts in the adjacent steep hill.  I was sitting in the cradle of a big tree waiting and it became very quiet, deserted..felt like I was the only one in the middle of the wood.  Glad PH kept me company.  The best way to cook a squirrels, my way, is make soup out of them...

He ain't squirrel hunting, he's deer scouting after dark. 

I wish...but he was hunting squirrels and the sun started going down while I was alone in the car and w/ the setting sun...not a pleasant place to be ALONE.

I'm sure this ain't your first time hunting with your spouse. Right?

Right I don't hunt but tag along to keep him company and do a little excercise.  Also, it's nice to be out in nature, peaceful and beautiful.

I see.  In the hunts we go, I see more fox squirrels and every now and  then black ones but they're rare.  This hunts are all fox squirrels.

One of them is a rare black squirrel

You can be in camo like that if you're bow hunting or bear hunting or turkey hunting or dove hunting or if you are in the car and not hunting at all. If you're out in the woods and without a weapon on you, you don't have to be in orange if you don't want to be safe. I mean, the rangers won't ticket you, you know.
