Tennessee's Top Small-Game Hunting

McLemore said the colder days aren't the best for squirrel hunting, because squirrels hole up and only come out for about 30 minutes after daylight and for the same period before dark. If you go, you have to go when they're stirring. If he hits one of those misty days, McLemore said when he takes three or four people with him, they can shoot anywhere from 18 to 25 squirrels and up to 30 on a good trip.

Most of the time, he'll hunt a couple hours a day by himself while training a dog. If he trees six squirrels, he'll shoot two or three out for the dog. Like with a coon dog, you have to reward them from time to time by letting them see what the objective really is in the end. He said if he shot all he treed, he'd soon be without a good place to hunt. The 62-year-old McLemore's only regret is that he didn't start squirrel hunting with dogs back when he was 15 years of age. He said he's missed a lot despite 25 years of it and climbing --that's how much he loves the sport.
