Many Season's Ending... Now What?

Most of the popular hunting seasons are over and have been for weeks leaving many outdoorsmen wondering what to do? Truth is, there are still season's to hunt (for at least a few days) and the weather has been quite cooperative to both hunter and quarry. One example is squirrel hunting.

Now I know it's not the most dramatic, but small game hunter's would argue that squirrel hunting is very exciting and rewarding! A reader of the Outdoor's Weather Guide informed me about an event to help raise money for a local fire department while enjoying the outdoors hunting bushytails. If you're scratching your head, looking for something to do this might be a fun one for you and a friend, plus last year's winnings totaled about $700.

This hunt is held this Saturday, Jan. 28th near Panora for the Panora Fire Departement. Registration for two man teams is from 6am to 9am at the Fire Department. If you have questions call George at 641-757-0783

This weekend's weather should be decent for hunting. Saturday will bring a brisk breeze as Canadian high pressure pushes in. It will also be chilly, with highs stuck in the 30s for most. Sunday high pressure will be sitting on top of us spelling light winds, a clear sky, teens to start and upper 20s to lower 30s for the afternoon. Keep track of central Iowa's most accurate 7-day here.

Here are the seasons still open:

Deer (January Antlerless) Ends Jan. 29th
Grouse, Squirrel Ends Jan. 31st
Cottontail Rabbit Ends Feb. 18th
