January 10, 2015 Squirrel/rabbit hunt.

The first squirrel / rabbit hunt of the season took place January 10th. It was a cold day with about two inches of snow on the ground. The temperature ranged from 9 to 22 degrees.
  There were 30 people signed up for squirrel and nine for rabbit.
  Eleven people weighed in 47 squirrels with seven of them bagging their limit.
  Five people weighed in 10 rabbits. Here are the results:

Heaviest bag     1st place   Brad Aman          6 squirrels  9.05 pounds
                        2nd place  David Stone         6 squirrels  8.75 pounds

The club is once again collecting squirrel tails and will be sending them to Mepps lures.
The club provided squirrel stew, turkey soup and corn bread for all those who showed up at the weigh in.
There are two more hunts scheduled.  The next one will be Saturday January 31st and the third and final one will be on the last day of the season Saturday February 28th. So mark your calenders and see you then.
