- Squirrel hunting in late winter can be a true challenge for the sportsman. In this video I will go over some tips and advice to make you a more successful squirrel hunter. Using a .22 rimfire is a challenging yet effective way of engaging in this activity, and it will hone your skills as well. Come along into the woods for some late season action, and advice.
Bob Milek a gun writer back in the 80s had a big rabbit hunt with several hunters. He made note of what guns and ammunition everyone was using and questioned everyone afterwards what the experience they had with hollow points and solids. The hollow points made a big difference. Many with the solid points and even when head shot made it down the holes out of reach. The hollow points killed them right on the spot.
I miss Bob's writing.
He was a no BS writer. He could write very interesting articles without the marketing influence many others were caught up in. I am surprised we didn't see Billy Milek articles after Bobs passing.@@cw2a
I remember Bob Milek's articles very well. I can see his picture in my mind's eye wearing that western hat and shooting glasses. One of his favorite .22 rifles was the Remington 541S. A true legend!
You Tennesseans must be tougher than us Texans. I've got to have my toilet paper. Maybe a corn cob. LOL. Thanks for posting.
Everyone is tougher than the Texicans.
Here in Maryland we use poison ivy. Raised that way.
I really am enjoying your videos. Well done, down to earth tips and equipment. Keep up the good worrk. Thanks
Thanks for doing these types of videos and keep them coming please.
A length of duct tape qround the bic lighter can be very handy for multiple things, even extends a flame to get it going
I hunted squirrels ALOT as a kid in Pa.,....lots of squirrels, .... since spending near 3/4 my life of the 60 years old I am in the West, I don't dare hunt squirrels since the mommas are pregnant so my season for me ends by middle of December, I just don't take very many, 2,3,4 at the most,.....they are real treats to eat imo,....& Yes Sir, - very, very few squirrels compared to Pa.,...they just seemed to be by the thousands back east as a kid to when I was 17, the last time I hunted squirrels & the last time I hunted squirrels with my Dad....powerful memories !!!....
Hunting is hunting regardless of the game you pursue. Being prepared in the outdoors is imperative.
Great information that makes a difference. Late season is very tough and you covered a lot of the problems and some good solutions. Outstanding work! Thanks for helping the old ways get passed on. Yeah, I’m an old guy and remember Bob Milek also. Great writer and shooter.
A really good video that covered a variety of scenarios encountered in the squirrel hunting woods. That old 69A really did a number on that last squirrel after you made that sight adjustment. You made some very valid points around the differences you encounter during the late season, to include food sources and the lack of foliage that impacts visibility for both the hunter and the targeted game.
I had fun making this video. Thanks for everything Wayne. I treasure our friendship.
Always a pleasure. Keep well and raise hell. Dave & The Girls
Great info friend, enjoyed the show 👍😃✌️🇺🇸💪

I would love that, but I walk with the help of a cane and would only slow you down.
Mornin my friend! Another good video! Our Grey season was over mid month but reds never closes!!
My favorite chooter is my H&R single shot 17 M2! Its a laser beam! I just added a new scope earlier this month. A Monstrum 30mm 3-12. Mil dot is very nice!!
Today is the last day for squirrel here in pa...thanks
Same here. Going to try to get out one last time this afternoon!
Great video! I grew up squirrel hunting, and loved it. You're blessed to have a nice area to hunt. Great tips on the items in the pack! Thanks for the video!
Nice video! I like to carry a shooting stick with me for when I find me a spot to sit. I didn’t know about the season getting extended here this year. Now I got to go before it goes out this upcoming week.
g👀d morning ! Always a GR8 morning when a "new" Cumberland Outdoorsman video shows up . Ohio squirrel season ended Jan. 31 , so you extended my season . GR8 shots on proper trigger etiquette ! Excellent recommendations for possibles bag . Always good to Be Prepared . Gloves can also cover up that shiny watch face . And never be caught without your favorite knife . Sometimes the same ammo a rifle is sighted in with , will shift point of impact from a "different" lot ;-( Love your reminder on camo . Needs to match season and surroundings . You are definitely an experienced outdoorsman . Find the food , find the critter . Prepping now for next squirrel season , and turkey in April . How do you get to Carnegie Hall ? Practice , practice , practice .
Best wishes for GR8 hunting 🍀
Thanks. I hope I can bring more to my viewers.
great video ...thanks
ThanksTom!
You're welcome buddy!
Excellent video - thanks!
Well made, thank you
Really enjoy your videos…thanks!
سلام من از ایران هستم و ویدئوهای شما رو میبینم و بسیار خوب هستند ،موفق باشید🎉❤
Thank you. What kind of game do you hunt in Iran?
@@CumberlandOutdoorsman سلام دوست عزیز،،من در ایران حیواناتی که در مزرعه مزاحم هستند رو هدف قرار میدهم .حیواناتی مثل خرگوش و موش صحرایی بزرگ👍
@@CumberlandOutdoorsman دوست عزیز ما در ایران اسلحه های جدید نداریم بیشتر اسلحه های شکاری موجود در ایران متعلق به پنجاه سال قبل و بیشتر هست و اسلحه جدید درایران نیست اما چاره ای نداریم فقط همان اسلحه های قدیمی و مهمات بی کیفیت ایرانی
من عاشق تفنگهای کالیبر۲۲ هستم و یک تفنگ کریکو کالیبر ۲۲ دارم . اکثر ویدئوهای شما برای کالیبر۲۲ هست .ما فقط باید ویدئو نگاه کنیم.😔
Hi CO, I'm curious which translator you use?
I tried deepl and saw it's evidently anti-seem-itic because it didn't offer Hebrew like Google translate does.
👍👍
Great video again. Many good tips. I have a question though. I think camo helps but my state requires hunter orange for all firearm hunting but turkey and waterfowl. So blind may be a great idea, but wondered what your thoughts about squirrel seeing the hunter orange. could it be they are mainly noticing movement and noise? Glad to see that 69A out I still need to get the one I picked up out. Thanks
in michigan we are not allowed to hunt in camo other than bow hunting, turkey and waterfowl, all other small game hunting we are required to wear hunters/blaze orange
In Tennessee we are required to wear blaze orange while deer hunting with firearms and/or muzzleloaders.
I also carry survey ribbon and a whistle for emergencys
Good ideas. I will include that in another video.
Honsetly I carry more then that weather remote hunting or my back yrd if I were you I d find a two
person heat sheet from
sol it will save your Bacon and its a good shelter too love the old 22 or any 22 andb410 I'm not a recoil fan
Where's the flash light?
Good suggestion.

I’d rather squirrel hunt in the fall than deer hunt.
More action, more excitement, less work. More laid back too.
I'm in Florida and our squirrels are so skinny they don't seem to be worth it. They will squawk at you around your house by the dozen, head into the woods to hunt and they disappear. LOL
Would you mind sharing your favorite squirrel recipe? I've tried a couple but they were both a long way from anything I'd call "Tasty" 😝
I'm far from C.O. (he's got an older cooking video, btw), but I put mine in a crockpot with some seasoning and water and cook until the meat falls off the bone then make a gravy and serve over rice or biscuits. But once you pick off the bone, you can use it for anything that you would use cooked chicken for-soups, stews, casseroles, tacos, etc.
@@marshmutt8975 now that sounds tasty - especially in tacos! And a crockpot is an option I hadn't considered, what a silly bunt! 😁
you forgot TP for bunghole
I carry a fanny pack with me when i hot the woods, better to have it and mot need it ,than meed it and not have it
