By JIM DEAN
What is North Carolina's most
popular game animal.
Unless vou've been reading
recent statistics, you might
flunk that question. How many
would guess quail? What about
rabbits? Doves maybe? Nope.
It's the gray squirrel. (Don't
worry, I didn't get it right
either.) A fairly recent survey
showed that 317,602 hunters
made 2,236,665 trips for
squirrels during a hunting
season. Compare this with
289,240 hunters who made
1,886,581 trips for rabbits;
182,043 hunters who made
1,220,808 trips for quail; and
168,894 hunters who made
886,837 trips for doves. Perhaps
for this reason the gray squirrel
was named North Carolina's
state mammal a few years
back.
li s not hard to understand
why the gray squirrel is our
most popular game species. He
is abundant across the state and
fairly easy to hunt in all types of
terrain. Hunters do not need a
lot of special equipment, nor do
they need to sink a lot of time or
money into training a dog
(though squirrel dogs are in
common use). Finally,
squirrels are challenging
targets and tasty tidbits on the
dinner table.
Squirrel hunting can also be
frustrating. Several years ago,
five of us hunted in dense woods
along the southern shore of the
Pamlico River near Core Point.
We hunted carefully all day
without so much as seeing a
bushytail. For some reason, we
apparently had picked a portion
of the forest which happened not

to appeal to squirrels.
"I don't understand it," on
member of the group com
plained as we headed back to
the cabin that evening, "I've
seen plenty of squirrels around
here in past years.
That night, we had Just settled
down for a long winter's nap
when all of a sudden there arose
such a clatter, we sprang from
,.r hoHo In see what was UM
matter. It sounded like
skeleton doing a tap dance
the attic.
That, my friends," ex
plained our host, ' 'is what we've
been hunting. I forgot to tell you
that squirrels live in the attic."
The following morning,
squirrels cavorted all through
the trees in the yard while we
are breakfast on the porch. Of
course, we didn't shoot them.
Instead, we packed up and left.
Score one for the squirrels.
On a recent hunt, a
mischievous sauirrel won
another round. I had been sit
ting quietly under a tall hickory
nut tree on a wooded slope. It
was a perfect spot. Along with
the hickories, there were
several large oaks.
I had been sitting there for
some time without seeing hide
nor hair of a squirrel. After a
while, I began to feel drowsy,
and I was almost asleep when
something bounced off the top of
my head and rolled into my lap.
It ws a half -gnawed hickory nut.
I looked up just in time to see
the culprit scamper through the
treetops. I fired what turned out
to be a warning shot.
I got his message though
nuts to you, buddy.
