Going to hunt for tree squirrels for the first time. Is there a good forum that knowledgeably [sp?] discusses this, and perhaps other hunting topics?

Thanks.

I don't know why you're hunting them, but we always wait for the first hard frost before squirrel hunting. It kills off the critters under their skin from what I understand. I suppose it doesn't matter if you cook'em right though...

No I don't know of any forums. :P

Huntingnet.com is a really good one.

I'm not sure there is a lot of coverage of small game hunting, but you can look around.

There is no better way to introduce someone to the survival skill of wild game hunting than with squirrel hunting. You can practice your woodcraft, camp cookery, and survival skills as you walk for miles in the autumn forest and hear them everywhere, that is until you get close. Thats where the skill comes in. You take your daypack, and your amazingly light and accurate .22 rifle with it's ammunition that has hardly gone up in price since the '60's, and head for the prettiest piece of woods you can find. There are plenty of recipes for squirrel, but if you don't actually bag any, you won't care.
