I was told, years ago by a DCNR official, that the summer prohibition was to protect the deer and keep people from harassing them in summer.
Said official is no longer with the agency. Maybe some of the new changes being made will include opening public lands to the public throughout the year.

I understand what you're saying but after seeing some of the changes and hearing about other discussions, I'd have to disagree that the current brass is too stuck in the past.
I'm surprised the spring squirrel season hasn't been publicly proposed already, to be honest. It should be and should be put into place for 2016. Doubt that will happen now, though.

This is why a three-week season in May would be a benefit. Alabama ain't hurting for squirrels and not enough hunters would go because they think it's too hot or snakey, but dog owners-handlers would.
May season long overdue in my book. Lots of other states have em.

We killed 433 last year off of my dog that just turned 2 in march. Most don't consider them finished out until they are 3+years old when they fully mature
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Man, you guys got me wanting a squirrel dog. I got a beagle/terrier mix that looks just like a Jack Russell. I don't think he's got a good nose. I've taken him to the squirrel woods and also tried him as a blood trailer. He ain't much on either. He did put a squirrel up a tree on sight the other day. He's vicious on possums and dillos that come in yard. Are there squirrel dog breeders around and what does a good pup cost? How do you train other than just take em to woods? Knew a fellow with a Russell who said it would both squirrel hunt and blood trail.

I've got a pup that's about 3 months old I've been thinking about getting rid of. Smart as a whip and listens well. I just don't think I'm going to have time to train him.

Knew a fellow with a Russell who said it would both squirrel hunt and blood trail. consider a OMC, Bugman got some real good connections on some real well bred dogs up that way. Nothing against the feist, I just prefer the cur's. My cur came from real good bloodline and cost 250.
