Jump and gun: A brisk squirrel hunting tactic for these cool November days

Since squirrels are spending more time gathering acorns and nuts to store for winter forage, you’ll find them hustling about on the forest floor between the mast trees and storage places at this time of year in the fall. (Stock photo)

The acorn-toting gray squirrel squirted from cover and headed for an old oak 20 yards distant.  Soon it appeared on the trunk only a couple feet off the ground. My little single-shot .410 barked and the bushytail dropped.
Like with so many “jump and gun” hunts, it culminated with a candidate for slow cooking in my blackened iron skillet. As leaves start raining down from the trees and undergrowth bends to the will of fall’s frosts, this hunting tactic can pay big dividends.
