I hope it passes too. The purpose (for me anyway) is to be able to work squirrel dogs at a time when conflict with deer/turkey hunters is a non-issue, and before it gets too hot. Would be nice to be able to (legally) knock a few out for a young dog.

Looks like the first two weekends of this month may be rained out... which is par for the course in February...ThumbDown

don't know where you're fishing, but unless it's COE, there's no reason not to have one anyway

Yall sound like a bunch of doctors and lawyers. Squirrels move in the rain. Friday killed 2 man limit had to work alittle for them. Saturday it was on, 2 man limit rather quickly, wish I had 5 or 6 more shooters with me.

You can still eat squirrels affected by botfly larvae. If any part of the meat is affected, cut it out. Follow normal meat preparation guidelinesThumpUp

Maybe if I was a doctor, lawyer or Gubment employee I could have a hunting camp and enough time and funds to play in the rain!!Flapper Flapper It just isn't worth the drive for ME to go out when the weather is so nasty and unpredictable!Glare Bored

With all the crazy bills filed recently, I hope this one isn't a casualty of war.

I ain't eating them with all that puss running out of the larvae hole. I ain't even putting them in my vest. I'd rather wait till it's good n cold and not worry about them.
