Another reason I love squirrel hunting is access to the woods. Some landowners will not allow deer or turkey hunters, but if you ask about squirrels, they get a puzzled look on their face and say, "Squirrels? Didn't know anyone hunted squirrels any more...sure, go ahead". I was filling my gas tank one day and dressed in my usual camo squirrel hunting outfit. The attendant asked what I was hunting. When I told him squirrels, he laughed and said, "You're kidding, right?" I had to explain it to him. I have access to an outstanding ranch with hundreds of acres of mature oak and walnut trees. I've hunted this place for nearly 40 years. The original owner/friend died, but his son has become a friend. He sells high-dollar deer hunts to his wealthy friends and his son and grandson occasionally bow-hunt. But, he always gives me permission. These woods are serene, majestic, and teeming with wildlife. When I took a friend once who is my age and has hunted squirrels all of his life, he was stunned. He said, "I've never seen so many squirrels in my life, ever, anywhere."
