Our season ends at the end of February, so tomorrow will be the last day I can hunt them. Went out this afternoon with cast in my old Savage 219 and did last Sunday as well. Love that rifle. I haven't done as much of it this year as I'd figured I would have last year, and a lot of it this year was with a Savage 94 in 16 gauge I picked up a few months ago I've become rather fond of. Our season opens up in mid Summer again, but I can't stand to do it when it's hot and buggy (squirrel season always seemed weird to me in Kansas). I've got the itch for a .25-20 or similar and will probably have and use one on them next Fall, but the .22 Hornet has proven to be a real winner with cast.
