Squirrel Season 2022
Re: Squirrel Season 2022
Our season for Western Gray Squirrel: North Central Oregon Sept 15 to Oct 31; Rest of state Sept 1 to Nov 15th.
Illegal to hunt Douglas and other native pine squirrels and flying squirrels.
Year round open season on invasive species: California Gray Digger, Eastern Fox and Eastern Gray Squirrels (very destructive).
I too use a .410.

Re: Squirrel Season 2022
Got my second chair in place. Sit in it about 30 minutes this afternoon. Only saw one squirrel, but no good shot. Hard to get a good shot this time of year, even with the 410.

Found this picture from about this same time in October last season. Just happened to look down and see it. Way to close for comfort. Over 5’.

Re: Squirrel Season 2022
Yikes. I'd have used the .410 on that critter.
I've gone out for squirrels and rabbits with a .410 lately. I've seen none. I should find a nice place to sit.

Re: Squirrel Season 2022
Each year I rotate my squirrel stands around. I set up a chair at 3 places. I can’t walk like I used to so I need to be able to ride the UTV pretty close to stand. Always tell my wife which chair I’m going to because don’t always have cell service.

Re: Squirrel Season 2022
It's a shame you can't hunt in suburbs. I've got enough unwanted squirrels in my backyard to feed a family of 4. When my buddy are out in the woods during small game season, I see very few squirrels. I know, lots more predators out there than in my back yard.
I'm not seriously suggesting it, I understand the safety issues, even with air rifles.

I can certainly relate. I have the same situation. Matter of fact, I see three out in the yard as I type.clovishound wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 9:43 amIt's a shame you can't hunt in suburbs.
