[Dave S]

where do you live Phooj? I know of some good management land that might have some Tree Rats. I also know of some private that you might be able to get on.

[Phooj]

Thank you much , i live right in Saint paul, i am willing to travel, just because i missed mom stew so much...lol well thanks again. i hope to hear from you again.

[Dave S]

Phooj,

just checking back in to see if you found any other places to hunt yet?

[jloomis]

hey lep7mm,here's my email address [email protected]. would like to find some places where there's tree rats. it's just for my parents.

[Code-Man]

Too bad you can't hunt my property! I'm tired of those tree rats! All i have though are Red Squirles and they are torking me off in the bow stand!!!

[jloomis]

yeah those red squirrels can be a pain in the butt when you're deer hunting. i only hunt grey and fox squirrels.

Phooj, any stateland in SEMN will have tree rats all over the place, find the hardwoods.

[Phooj]

nope , a coworker was going to take me with , but he got laid off, lol so i didnt go yet, do you have something in mind?

[Dave S]

There's a couple large WMAs near Henderson that should hold some Greys and several Fox Squirrels.

[Phooj]

you mind emailing me a map and a good hot spots if you can cause i have no idea, where about that is , Thanks in Regards

Henderson is south of the Twin Cities about 45 minutes and 3 miles West of 169 on HWY 19. Before you go down the hill into the Valley, there's a big WMA (Ney WMA)on the right side of the road. The Ney Environmental Center is across the road. You can only hunt the North side of the road.

The other WMA is northwest of Henderson. Turn right onto County Road 6 and go 3/4 mile out of town. Turn left on the first gravel road after you get out of town. You'll go about 1.5 miles and drop down into another valley. When you come back up the hill, Vale WMA will be on your right. There's some really deep ravines out there so be careful.

First post so excuse me if this is wrong to ask an kinda off topic question.

Are squirrels tasty? I guess that could be a matter of "taste".

Are they like rabbit?

Sorry for the stupid questions guys.

[Archerysniper]

They are very tasty little critters many different ways to cook the but allways end up tasty.

[Cheetah]

Yea similar to rabbit, though I haven't eaten one in quite a few years. I've been meaning to go after them, but every time I find a bunch I am more concerned with the deer I am chasing.

I think most guys make them into a stew or use the slow cooker.

[Phooj]

hey LEP7MM im still confused , can you tell me how to get from Saint Paul, MN from start to finish PLEASE, sorry i have ask you alot of you rhelp already, if you dont mind , and for the other guys squirrell is similiar to rabbit.

[Dave S]

No problem Phooj.

From St. Paul, if you can get your way to 494 West, cross over 35W and continue to HWY 169 South, that will take you to the directions I gave above. From 494 to HWY 19 that goes into Henderson, it will be approximately a 45 minute drive.

Take HWY 19 west 1.5 miles to the Ney WMA. It will be at the top of the hill on the right side of the road before you drop into the MN River valley.

If you continue on HWY19 into the MN River valley, you will come into Henderson. Turn right just after the Shell Gas Station onto County Road 6 and head north out of town. As soon as you get out of Henderson, you'll take the first gravel road to your left and follow this through another valley. It will be approximately 1.5 miles of gravel. Once you reach the top of the hill, there will be a parking area on the right. This will be the Vale WMA.

Hope this helps.

THANKS A LOT

Just go up to any ol' farm house out in the country and thier usually pretty good about letting people shoot squirrels...and squirrels is about it. Don't ask to shoot duck or pheasant without forking over some money...LOL

[Dakota O'Brien]

Hi,

So I'm hunting squirrels this Sunday with a buddy and we don't know many good spots to go. We went last weekend but had no luck since they hid well and also jumped tree to tree.
