In Ohio's squirrel hunting season (Sep 1-Jan end), youngsters can learn woodsmanship skills while pursuing fox, gray, and red squirrels. Hunting requires minimal gear and can be done using sit-and-wait or stalking methods, with squirrels attracted to oak, hickory, and beechnut trees. Hunting in September offers ideal weather and squirrel activity during dawn and dusk.
