Squirrel season is one of the longest running in Oklahoma, spanning nine-and-a-half months. But Feb. 28 is upon us, marking the last day of the 2024-25 season. And yet, that leaves plenty of time for another trip or two to the woods. In our latest blog on the Outdoor Oklahoma Journal, we suggest three places you should check out if you’re looking for some late season bushytail hunting.
If you’ve spent much time in a deer stand in the woods during the fall, then squirrel hunting might sound … easy. That’s especially likely if you’re accustomed to hunting near a game feeder. Squirrels are very active that time of year. And with a little leaf cover still available, a quiet hunter can go virtually unnoticed by squirrels – or at least is quickly disregarded as squirrels carry on with their seasonal habits.
In the late winter, though, a different story can be told. The hunting is still good. But with virtually no leaf cover and plenty of “crunchy” debris on the forest floor, you might have to sharpen your stealth game if you want bring home a mess of squirrels to fry for supper.
If late season squirrel hunting is on your mind, or if a young hunter is begging for you to take them hunting, you’ve got until Feb. 28 to get it done. Here’s four tips to help you.
