Squirrel hunt gettaway!!

[CatDaddy]

What does everyone think about getting together for a big squirrel hunt? Maybe in Tar hallow or Zaleskie? We could get there early in the mourning hunt till noon eat lunch and B.S for a while and maybe do some more hunting.Im thinking like early September. Let me know, I think it would be fun and give us all a chance to meet and put a face with these screen names.

[Beau Martin]

Sound good to me but quitre a ways off ant thing closesr?

[CatDaddy]

closer place to hunt or earlier in the season?

[Thunderflight]

Squirrel Camp!!!!!???????

[Beau Martin]

Im not sure were harrisburg is but I live north of dayton so more like closer, early is no problem.

[Mal]

Sounds like a blast, but I'm not sure what my hunting status will be this year, I maybe looking at pretty extensive back surgery, so pardon me if I won't commit yet.

[MrFurious]

Ok Mal, what did ya do this time to make the wife give ya a good flogging with the switch and mess up your back? LOL

BTW, sorry I've been AWOL so long. Spring rolled around and fishing season hit....and well...uhhhh....lets just say the boat has been getting a good workout this year. I've also been trying to get money together to build that "separate building" the feds require so I can eventually get my FFL license approved (I still wonder if I could get by with an 8'x10' storage shed just to make them happy. lol).

Hope things straighten out with your back, delt with back problems myself the last few years and I know how miserable it can get. Drop me a line when ya get a chance.

[Mal]

Man I thought maybe you had dropped off the face of the earth, and maybe your wife might be ready to sell your hunting gear. LOL. I'll send you an e mail to let you know what all has been going on.

[vvarmitr]

That would great. Couldn't we have several around the state so it would be easier for all to be involved?

[5Cent]

Sounds good to me. I like the whole state thing too, just so everyone could get a chance to get involved. But I do recommend going to Waterloo(which is a squirrel research area that butts up to Zaleski) as great place. I know they're everywhere so I guess it don't matter.

[Beau Martin]

Sound like a good I dea just let me know when and will try to makje it. work second shift so would more then likley leave after work and meet you all some were. Lets get this a rolling!

[CatDaddy]

We need some suggestion guys! where does everyone want to do this? I live in Central Ohio, but it really doesnt matter to me where we go. Anybody got any ideas?

[Beau Martin]

I'm not familier with the central areas to hunt but here all i hve close by is Lake laromie state Park and Dark county. Open to sugestions am always looking for new areas to try. what public do you have near or around you?

[CatDaddy]

How many people are planning on going? We have Deer Creek, and a couple other public hunting areas around me, but if is just going to be a few of us I might think about taking you guys to some private land ;) But PLEASE if I do decide to do that dont act stupid or evan plan on acting stupid there. It is getting hard to find private land to hunt.

[Thunderflight]

Our intel officer just told me that the squirrels in Ohio are expection you.

You had best be ready for some resistance.:)

[Thunderflight]

Looks like they are pretty well organized and armed too.

You all had best watch your backs.

TF

[Thunderflight]

These Ohio squirrels must be pretty well organized and funded too. We just found out that they hired a few airborne mercanary poodles too.

Just be safe out there....

[Mal]

Dang Jim, I'm reading a post, I scroll down, and see your ugly mug, Man warn a guy will ya. LOL

[MrFurious]

LOL....just keeping ya on your toes there Mal. Wouldn't want ya falling asleep over there.

BTW, wouldn't happen to know anyone interested in a small fishing boat would ya?

[Beau Martin]

Deer Creek would be fine by me just let me know a date and can work on it from there.

[CatDaddy]

Is it going to be just me and you Beau? If so, heck with deer creek we will go to the land of the Giant RED squirrels:D (aka private property)

[Ohhunter]

I'd like to go.I live in Washington C.H. not far from Deer Creek so just let me know day and time.What guns do you use? I like to hunt them with my 22 and try for head shots that makes it fun.If you guys use shot guns i'll bring my 410 or 28 gauge.I know of one place at Deer creek that has big timber and alot of them bushey tailed rats.

[Thunderflight]

I have/had cousins in Washington CH. They had a pig farm. The last time I can remember seeing them was when I was ten or eleven.

TF

[Ohhunter]

What was there name? I know alot of the farmers around here.I'll tell them you said i can hunt there land.LOL just jokeing

[Thunderflight]

Baughn

I doubt if any of them remember me. We never stayed to intouch with my Dad's side of the family.

TF

[Beau Martin]

Hey cat dady im with ohhunter just give me a time day and place to meet and will hopefully not work that weekend. Go ahead an pm me with the info.

[CatDaddy]

Would you guys like to go during early September or late September, or both? Come October 5, I will be doing some serious deer hunting.

[Beau Martin]

Hey Thdflt you realy do have to much time on your hands LOL. But it is alright because the pic's you send are cool. And 7th how about 3rd Bat. HORAAH.

And Catdaddy Early or Late, Mid is fine with me. Ether a sunday or saturday is fine with me. Hey catdaddy do you goose or duck hunt? Or how about Dove hunting?

[Thunderflight]

Actually the trick is to be able to handle multi task. You'd be surprised how many times I've been yelling at someone will I'm posting....:)

errrrrr,,,

Thunderflight

[Ohhunter]

Thunderflight I know a Doug and Roger Baughn they have alot of pigs and sheep.They farm alot of land just out of town.I have hunted with Doug before.Just wondering if that could be them.

[7th]

Beau,
Was you down South with the 3rd? I played with them some:D . Tryed to stay at Bragg as much as I could but they had other games for me to play:cool: . I liked most of my Sothern Vacations that Uncle Suger sent me on:D .
TF,
What flyght deck are you off of? I have a e-mail that you might like about Sen. Birds complaint :mad: about Mr. Bush welcoming the Troops home:D . If you would like I will send it to you, it takes a few min's to load but it is very good;) . I will say that when it came to fast movers I loved to see the Navy and Marines up there :D and was looking for a place to hide if it was the fly fly boys:mad:
BTW Sen. Bird, don't try this at home:confused: .

[CatDaddy]

Never Goose or duck hunted but I do like to dove hunt!

[george tinkham]

my guns are locked up in my safe an i cant get them out...

[Thunderflight]

Ohhunter

That is probably them. If you get the chance ask them if they are related to Dick (Richard) Baughn who used to live in Johnstown. My father passed away in 1987.

His brother's name was Robert or Bob (he passed away when I was probably 10 or 11). His family lived in Reynoldsburg. Infact I have, or used to have, a cousin who was a police officer there.

I doubt that they'll remember me. I'm the oldest of four kids. The last time I remember going to there farm was for a Baughn family reunion many, many, many, did I say many, moons ago.

I'll bet I'm related to them. Small world isn't it?

TF

[george tinkham]

THN FLT,THEY GOT PIGS(HOGS)...HINT HINT

[CatDaddy]

Ok guys, Im thinking like September 13, Its on a saturday, I really cant go on sunday b/c I work sunday night. We can meet down a deer creek somewhere and spend the day hunting. How does that sound to ya?

[Beau Martin]

Hey how about saturday the 20th? I have plans for the weekend of the 13th. have a camp to go to at zanesfield. let me know what you think.

[Beau Martin]

Hey 7th yes Iwas at Benning 3rd Bat 85-86. I alsospent a few "Vacations" way down south, like panama, El Salvador, EIEIOOOOOOOOOO:D :D What Years were you in?

[CatDaddy]

That sounds good to me.

[Ohhunter]

Hey CatDaddy Me and my wife was going through Harrisburg last weekend and just out of town. a big male coyote ran across the road.It was funny seeing it right at the edge of town.That was out by 71 and it was headed to the river in the middle of the day.Hey the 20th of september is ok with me.But i think we would get more squirrels on private land.Unless you know some good places at deercreek.

[CatDaddy]

I dont know any good places on deer creek....I am going to check out deer creek on the first saturday of season so I will see. It is totally up to you guys where we go. like I said we can go to my private property if you want. Ive got enough places we can spend all day hunting.

Ohhunter, Yea there are plenty of coyotes around here...wanna shoot some? let me know. What road were you on when you saw him?

[Beau Martin]

Ok it seems we have desided on saturday the 20th. now how about a time and a place to meet. I have no prob with public or privite. You guys let me know where and when. And directions to wher we should meet.

[Ohhunter]

CatDaddy I don't know the name of the road .Its the one that takes you over to Georgesville rd. and westland mall.I hunt coyotes but i have killed only four around here.I think its to greened up right now.Maybe this winter we can try and call some in around there?They had something going on last night at the riding stables in Harrisburg.Do you ride there?How about meeting at the bp at 71 and 68 that would be easy to fined.The private land sounds good to me.Deercreek gets hunted to hard .

[CatDaddy]

Yup the 20th it is, We can try public land and if that dont work out we can go to som private land I have. Do all you guys know where the shooting range is? I was thinking we could meet there. Id like to get started early in the mourning, pack a lunch and hunt most of the day, but is up to you guys.


Ohhunter, Yea I used to ride bulls down there but the state bought that land and now they wont let us buck out any bulls there :(

[george tinkham]

i know a place thats full of squirrels,public land near nelsonville...i road a bull at micky gillies in pasadena texas(houston)

[Ohhunter]

CatDaddy that sounds good to me.I know where the shooting range is.I go down to the bow range about two or three times aweek.I think i'll go today.I have squirrel hunted down at deercreek.I think we can get a few.Let me know what gun to bring.22 0r 410 or i could bring my 10ga.LOL

[Beau Martin]

Hey cat daddy and ohhunter sound great to me all I need is Directions to get there. I think I will bring both .410 and the .22 . Do ether of you have a portable grill nothing like fresh squierl on the grill!! If one of you will pm me the directions that would be great. I live in Sidney which is north of Dayton by about 30 miles.

[CatDaddy]

Here ya go, maybe this will help you


Start: Depart Sidney, Ohio, United States on Chestnut Ave (North) 0.2
1: Turn LEFT (South-West) onto Fair Rd 1.2
2: Road name changes to CR-8 [Fair Rd] 0.5


3: Take Ramp (LEFT) onto I-75 29.3


4: At exit 61, take Ramp (RIGHT) onto I-70 38.4

Turn left on Yankeetown Pike (there is a big white plantation lookin house on your right just before you come to the road). The shooting range is on your left, You will see the dirt piles around the range and a little shanny close to the road. I will have my cell with me so you can call, Ill give you the number later.

[CatDaddy]

I'll be bringing my 20ga and my .22 I sold my .410 yesterday, you guys feel free to bring whatever you want. If it is still warm enough to fish and you guys want to do some bass fishing bring a pole, there is a nice little pond on the private property Im planning for us to hunt.

[vvarmitr]

You guys have a great time. ;) I was really hoping to get in on some of this, but it sounds like we are working right up to Thanksgiving w/only Labor day off. I wanted to bring my squirrel dog, but maybe this is a good thing. This way she can't embrass me. :D
Squierl on a grill what a thrill. :cool:

[Beau Martin]

Squierls and Bass sounds great to me!!! Fish and eat for lunch

[Ohhunter]

Bass fishing I'am ready now CatDaddy.My son-in-law works for the city here in Washington C.H. he can get us in the citys water plant.you have to get a key to get in.Man its full of bass ,Big cats ,and waleye.let me know we can plan on going some time.He can only get two other guys in at a time.I can set it up with him.

[CatDaddy]

Ya know, Ive been thinking...Do we really even want to bother with the public land? Ive got enough places to keep us busy all day. Do you guys like to walk or sit when you squirrel hunt?

[Beau Martin]

I usally do both I will sit and walk. depends on were I'm at. whae I hunt the public around here I ussaly walk in the early hours when they are maore active because they seem to be use to a lot of people walking in the morns then will sit in a few spots later in the day. so what ever you would lkike to dolet me know I have it already marked on my calender just give me directions to were we could meet and Im ready!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :cool:

[CatDaddy]

What do you think Ohhunter? I have been looking at a map and I think it will be easiet for Beau to come on over here instead of deer creek.

[Ohhunter]

On the map it Looks to me that rt.29 over to Urbana then rt.29 to rt.56 south down through London then down to rt.71 north up to rt.68 we can meet at the bp at 71 and 68.Thats a long drive to hunt them big rats.But we can make a day of it.

[CatDaddy]

I was thinking that if we hunted on the private property Ive got that Beau could just hop on 71 and come up to St Rt 62. That is real close to the property. And you (Ohhunter) could just come straight up 62. We can meet at 62 and 71. That is IF you guys would rather hunt private land. 68 seems to be out of the way even if we do hunt deer creek.

[Ohhunter]

Meet at 71 and 62 is fine with me.I dont know why i said 68 my bad.I would much rather hunt on private land.Just give me a time and i'll be there.And lets all say what we are driving so we can look for each other..I'll be driving a blue jeep cherokee.Beau sence you have so far to come We can also give are cell numbers.Just in case you have any trouble.

[CatDaddy]

That is good for me. what time Beau? It is up to you really as to what time you want to be here. I will be driving a green Ford Ranger extended cab. Where 71 and 62 meet there is a BP right as soon as you get off we can meet there. The exit is number 94 it will say St Rt 62/ 3

[Beau Martin]

Sounds good to me I have a 77 bage Ford F100 I will be the one sleeping in the cab I will more then likley leave right after work and catch a couple of hours sleep If Im not in the cab look in the bed under my topper LOL I wont be the first time I have done this Use to do it that way when I use to hunt ducks up at windy pointon St Marys lake. So I will see you at the BP station on the morning of the 20th with Rod and guns ready to go. Do ether of you have a portable grill. You said something about bringing lunch, If it is a good day we could be having squier for lunch Just a thought! I dont have a cell but pm me the #'s and will see what we can do.

[{CBGB}BIGDOG3c]

hey I live about 1 minute form the BP on Stahl rd.

Funny thing you living so close there catdaddy.

I just wanted to pop in and say hey since we are almost neighbors and all.

Good luck on your squirrel hunting!!

[CatDaddy]

So what time are you guys thinking? Like 6:00am?

[vvarmitr]

Don't you guys go crazy. Leave some squirrel for seed. ;) I might get to do this next year w/ya'll. :rolleyes:

[CatDaddy]

shoot, we can get together more than once this year.

I really dont like to eat wild game without soaking it in saltwater overnite. There are plenty of nice little country restaurants around here to eat lunch. Id just pack something for a snack, And I will pick up a dozen doughnuts that morning. Just let me know.

[Ohhunter]

Thats fine with me cat.We can go some where and eat.Are all the squirrels red up there or is there any grays?All red here around Washington C.H. Have you ever been to Jamestown? They have black ones there.Thats no lie as black as coal.I have never killed one but i have seen them .I was working there and i could not beleave it all black.

[CatDaddy]

Some woods around here have grey squirrels and some have Fox squirrels. I even seen a white one last year. What would you guys rather hunt Fox or greys? Some of the Fox squirrels are as big as cats around here, But I like the greys better..They are alot easier to skin.

[Ohhunter]

I'd like to hunt the greys.I can hunt the reds around here.I think the greys are more fun .They dont set still for long always on the move.Hey cat you can skin mine to.LOL:D

[Beau Martin]

Six is fine for me just wake me when you get there LOL . Greys reds dont mater aslong as we have fun!!

[CatDaddy]

I think the person who shoots the least should skin them! :D

[CatDaddy]

Ok, So we have it finalized.....Saturday, September 20th. We are meeting at StRt 62 and I-71 @ 6:00am. Correct?

[Beau Martin]

Thats a big 10-4 with me wiil see you then. If any thing happens that we cant do this that weekend just let me know

[CatDaddy]

I cant wait Im sooooo excited! It feels like my first day hunting:D

[Beau Martin]

o'boy o'bopy o'boy look out rocky here we come:D :D :D :D :D :D

[CatDaddy]

duh..which way did he go george, which way did he go? lmao

[CatDaddy]

Anybody know where Ohhunter went? He hasnt posted in a few days.

[Ohhunter]

I'am still alive cat.I just got a new bow and i've been setting it up.Man i can't wait untill oct.4 when bow season starts.Thats why i like squirrel hunting it gets you ready for deer and turkeys.But my first hunting love was squirrels.Thats what i cut my teeth on.Now number one is turkeys then deer.I've got 800 acres in Hocking Co. thats full of turkeys.I'd like to take you if you have never hunted them.Its a blast just to see and hear them.I've got about six turkey guns setup and all the camo we need. The fall season is coming up.Just let me know?

[CatDaddy]

Oh, Ive hunted turkey!! Killed a nice one this past season. When you guys come up I will take you to my house and show you all the turkey mounts. Im still always looking for a good place to hunt them.

[CatDaddy]

guess what guys.......only 17 more days. I went out on the 1st and got one fox squirrel. I figured that was pretty good for a crappy, rainy day.

[CatDaddy]

well, shot three greys and one fox squirrel today. Ive been seeing alot of squirrels this year!

[Ohhunter]

I went dove hunting on the opener.took 8 in about a hour.And i went to site my scope in on my 22 .I took about ten shoots and it was still on from last year.I didn't stay long the mosquitoes almost ate me alive.Are they that bad in the woods up there cat?Thats why i'am not going squirrel hunting yet.

[CatDaddy]

They dont seem to be too bad. I put some "Deep woods" Off on me and go. I went again today and killed three greys and one red. I seen a squirrel that was blonde too. I wish I could have got a shot at him.

[pawclaws]

Looks like you guys are full up forthis one. I got to check this thing more often!! Anybody needs a squirrel to shoot let me know. We have plenty at Waterloo, Wayne National and parts South and East of Ohio!! :D Planniang a GetTogether with some NAHC folk next May at Salt Fork over the 14 - 16th. Going to introduce a new organization called "Ohio Camp Cooks." All are welcome; should be fun!! :D
