Anyone hunting tree rats yet ?
« on: September 16, 2008, 11:31:15 AM »
I am planning to get out this Sat. morning and reduce the numbers by 6 ( bag limit ) , I have a private park that I hunt in the early part of the season . 17 acres of maple and shag bark hickory , plus a 3 acre pond .

I just drive in and set down at a picnic table , have a cup of coffee and wait for them to come out , not real sporting but it helps thin them out so they don't get into the buildings and trash things .

This is also one of my deer spots along with a good yote calling spot .

Been out a few times, Mainly scouting for deer. Have shot 11 so far this year, but that was after 5 outings I believe. It's been too damn hot and dry. Now that this rain has moved in maybe it'll be a little better.
