Don't shoot more than six squirrels per day in upcoming season The June squirrel season opens Saturday, June 4, 2005 and runs for 14consecutive days until Friday, June 17. Up until 1994, hunters had to wait until late August before they could hunt again after turkey season ended. That year, the KentuckyDepartment of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) implemented a Junesquirrel season to take advantage of squirrel breeding chronology andprovide a hunting opportunity for Kentuckians in the summer. Squirrels prefer different habitat in June than they do in the fall. Theusual steamy weather of June moves squirrels into drainages, creek and riverbottoms and spring fed hollows. These areas provide relief from the heat,but they won't hold squirrels if they don't possess the right food sources. There isn't much mast for squirrels to eat in early summer. In June, theyfeed on the seeds and fruit of mulberry, wild cherry, dogwood, sassafras,hornbeam, elm, pine, maple and ash trees. Find these trees in a creek bottomor hollow and you've found a likely spot for June squirrels. During thistime of year, squirrels also eat mushrooms, flowers and even insects onoccasion. The thick foliage of June dictates firearm choice. A 20-gauge shotgun is thebest all around choice, but 12- or .410 gauge also work. Shotguns are abetter choice to shoot through leaves than the .22 rifles many use in fallfor squirrels. June is a great month to combine a float trip of fishing for smallmouth bassand squirrel hunting along one of Kentucky's streams. Look for jigglingleaves in the tops of trees along the stream bank to locate squirrels whilefloating. Gray squirrels dominate the wooded hills of eastern Kentucky, as dense,extensive woods are their preferred habitat. Fox (red) squirrels preferisolated trees along fence rows in the more agricultural areas of the state. If you plan to participate in June squirrel season, please record your day'shunt information in the squirrel hunting log found in the back of the Fall2004 & Spring 2005 Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide. The logs are alsoavailable on the internet at fw.ky.gov or you may request one by calling1-800-858-1549. The information gleaned from the hunting logs provide wildlife biologistswith priceless information to make informed management decisions that willimprove hunting in the future for everyone. Shooting hours are one-half hourbefore sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. The daily limit for the June squirrels per day is six. Remember to apply bugrepellant this season for your own comfort and protection from disease. This story was posted on 2005-05-28 12:30:11
