I don't know how many times last deer season I was sitting in my blind or stand and squirrels drove me crazy. This is my son's first year with his own gun so i was super excited for squirrel opening this year.
We got skunked. We didn't even see any starlings we could shoot. My son fell into a nest of seed ticks. We got home at 8:15 last night. My wife and I took turns holding him down while the other used tweezers to remove the ticks. We finished at 10:30. He was eat up in all the wrong places.
It'll be a while before I get him to hunt anything while ticks are still out.
ETA: Did walk up and spook 5 doe and 1 buck at about 20ft.
