Sometimes they just get a pass.

As fall approaches ,I find myself less aggressive on taking the big Fox squirrels. They are scowering for food to prep for torpor. I find it provides me with a robust fresh group that make it through the Winter for spring breeding .. I refuse to not shoot the Reds/ Pine squirrels as they are active year round and are very damaging to my location..

This one walked out on that lone branch and we locked eyes.. I gave him a nod,and on he went.

I get it. I've been getting two to four squirrels a day for the past couple of weeks. I pass on the same jet black squirrel every day. He just looks cool.

We have blacks here too. They are a totally different acting animal.. They use the trees less and are early morning dusk walkers and late at night. Both fist and last seen.. A lot like the grays. Actually less timid it seems you can stalk them without them scuttling up a tree.

Yep, this one just keeps sitting there eating and looking for food while I drop the squirrels around him.

I’ve seen grey,reds , reds with black mix, blacks with red tails. Blacks with white tipped tails but NEVER pure white. I’d prolly pass on him and a Hawk would swoop down and grab um

it is $1000.00 fine to kill and a $5000 to trap or remove . This is Ky .some people believe a "Tar and Feathering" is still a good deterrent

These guys are not scared either!

They come up looking for peanuts and carrots every morning. If we do not get up they knock on the door.

Pretty sure they're called Leucistic. Lack some of the melanin, but not all.

I have one lone squirrel runs through my yard every day, I just watch him eating the pinecones and acorns.
