If mulberries are on by then, I'm gonna raise hell on em. If they ain't, I'll take a shotgun and hike enough to get 6 lol

This just reminded me to pick up a box of shells while I'm out today. One of my favorite times of the year since as long as I can remember.

There is a couple mulberry trees back in a little bottom not far from me and for some reason they will ripen before any of the other mulberry trees I know of. I will be checking them.

So if the squirrels aren’t in the mulberries where do you have the best luck in the spring? Creek bottoms? Ridge tops? Field edges?

Any of the places you mention, there just foraging for food this time of year but if you know of some mulberry trees check them. I have done well when the mulberries are producing.

I used to hunt them hard as a kid and still do some in the fall as an adult. In spring season I’d love to go on an early morning after a rain the night before or a heavy dew, you’d hear them squirrels when they start moving because it would start raining wherever they were shaking a limb.

Been hunting them a lot of years and still love to hear that sound.

If no mulberries, it's just a slow hike with a shotgun imo.
They'll cut maple seeds, "helicopters", but never heavy enough to be dependable
