The 2007 squirrel season in Indiana opens on August 15th this year…
If you’re a squirrel hunter who prefers a shotgun instead of a small caliber rifle, it should be noted that Winamac does not have a shot restriction on shotgun shells. Of course, what type of gun you use is a matter of choice. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. This writer prefers a .22 in long rifle with a descent scope. This is because a scope helps in low-light conditions (i.e., in the deeply shaded woods before the leaves come off) for allowing pinpoint shooting.
Squirrel hunting is a great way to introduce people, especially children, to the sport of hunting.
“By and large, the squirrel hunting here at Winamac is underutilized; there’s an awful lot of opportunity for it,” Despot said.
