Growing up we always squirrel hunted. I'm 31 just for a reference. Man I loved it and we always ran into other squirrel hunters. We would keep what we needed and always had people wanting them. Then as a teenager I got into deer hunting and all a squirrel was is a nuisance. I've been fortunate and hunted alot of alabama and have killed to me some really good deer. Fast forward to now, my two oldest boys are into hunting. We've been on deer hunts since they were 3yrs old and I've killed deer with them with me. Some nice bucks too. They will always rather go squirrel hunting.

So my point is... We never run into other squirrel hunters, even on WMA's. Nobody wants them to eat. People think I'm crazy when I go squirrel hunting instead of deer hunting. Most places where people deer hunt they don't want any squirrel hunters around much less hunting their land.

Squirrel hunting has taught me and my sons alot about aiming and waiting patiently for the best shot. It's faster paced and more forgiving than deer hunting. We love to eat them in multiple recipes. But it seems no one does it anymore.
