Throughout the midwest squirrel season is fast approaching. Outlined below are the squirrel season dates that have been provided by each state. There are some states that haven't updated their sites; however, each is listed with the information available at this time.
Illinois:
The only information listed for Illinois is the dates for last year. They were as follows:
Aug. 1, 2015 - Feb. 15, 2016 (Statewide) Closed Nov. 20 - 22 and Dec. 3 - 6 in counties open for firearm deer hunting
Continue checking back with the Illinois DNR for more information.
Iowa:
Squirrel (Fox & Gray) Sept. 3-Jan. 31, 2017
I was unable to find the daily and possession limits for Iowa. To find the limits for the 2016 Iowa squirrel hunting season check with the Iowa DNR.
Kansas:
Kansas is another state that is slow to update their regulations online.
Last years season and limits were as follows:
Date: 06/01/2015 - 02/28/2016
Location: Statewide

- Daily bag limit: 5
- Possession limit: 20
Check with the KDWPT for updated information.

This is all of the information provided by Michigan. Please check with the Michigan DNR for more information and to be sure this is correct for 2016.
Minnesota:
Minnesota is another state in the midwest that is slow to update their site with new regulations.
At this time they do not have the new 2016 squirrel season regulations posted.
Check with the Minnesota DNR for updates.
Missouri:
Missouri does an excellent job keeping their site up to date with all of their hunting regulations, seasons and limits. The squirrel season and limits in Missouri are as follows:
May 28, 2016 - Feb. 15, 2017
Daily limit: 10
Possession limit: 20
Nebraska:
Although Nebraska has their squirrel season dates posted, they do not list the daily or possession limits. The Nebraska squirrel season dates are as follows:

Ohio:

The daily and possession limits were not found on their site.
Check with the Wisconsin DNR for updates.
As I searched out the information for the squirrel season dates in the midwest states, I was highly disappointed to find out that many of them are slow to update their information. Of all the midwest states, Missouri has the most liberal squirrel hunting season dates and limits. Missouri also seems to do the best job of keeping their information up to date.
I hope the information I have been able to provide has helped as many people as possible.
- Any day in the outdoors is a good day
