hi lads/lasses

might be a daft quetion but i honestly dont know are squirrel active after day light hours ie any one lamped them just got some new permission on a golf course where they are over run with them problem is i dont feel comfortable walking around the course through the day carrying the gun when it is busy with golfers even though i have the permision letter in my pocket just incase any one asks but i would much rather go after dark would i be wasting my time any help would be great thanks guys

mate i have no idea ive looked while out at night but not seen any . in the trees ..

could they not shut one hole at a time each week let you work ???? that way you would not get golfers strolling into ya shot ...

could ask them celtic but i dought it members would be up in arms i will just have to work around them i suppose but thanks any way hows your bull barrel doing ?still enjoying it?i sent mine down to john bowkett he blue printed it and put a large bolt action on for me now i can palm it rather than use my fingers firing quieter,and getting more shots to the charge money well spent

I have shot well over 1000 greys but I can't remember a single one lamping!

 

Round my way they all go to bed when it gets dark and get up when it gets light

Where I shoot I don't tend to start seeing them until about 40 mins - 1hour after daylight atm.

Don't know about evenings (times are restricted on this site due to public access), but I'd say you'd be wasting your time.

Squirrels don't venture out at night.

squirrels are not nocturnal...maybe a trip to the trapping section maybe in order.at least that way if your getting rid of the squirrels by trapping your permission is safe

and you see even less of the bleeders in the winter although i have had 2 on a xmas morning.

[claybusers al 9]

traps are your best bet or wait until the lighter mornings make some kind of map or mark the trees someway discreetly ie tape or paint where the dreys are now while you can see them then poke them with poles at a later date

What time do golfers start playing? surely you could get there before the club room opens to the public and pop of a few before the crowds? otherwise find out the on peak days or times and of peak days or times and try to work around them. good luck.

Your best best is 4/5 am in the summer but even them ive got dog walkers and folk going to there work starting to appear on the golf course then golfer's start appearing about 6 am ,

[daniel8822 0]

never seen any in the night out, why dont you go really early when its starting to get light

[ghillies 209]

as always...there's always one..lol... some do, and some of those get shot on a lamp, but in general i dont think they are particularly nocternal.
