The image of you squinting at the suspicious nest made me laugh.

That thud is usually a coon and he comes up out of there like his arse is on fire

Btw, I hate a fricking coon!

I slowly move through the woods, I rarely sit while squirrel hunting

Oh, and I hate nest shooters about as much as I hate dog hunters

Then you would not enjoy out annual "Its brown its down( with the exception of deer)" hunt every year after deer season

We usually wind up with a pile of critters and have a big cooking. Bbq coon and a squirrel and rabbit stew

I don't care about shooting coons, squirrels and rabbits

I was always just taught that if they squirrel made it back to it's nest, it won. That was their safe zone.

This is what I do unless hunting with a dog. Hunting with a dog one person brings a shotgun and the rest have .22s
