Dan, do you bowhunt them or just enjoy their antics? Lance

I had a very rare fox squirrel here that was a pet. We have some black fox squirrels in town, but I had a very light grey one. She would sit on an apple tree stump not 6 feet from me when I shot in the back yard and go check out the arrows in the target and then go back to the stump. I could grab a handful of sunflower seeds out of the bird feeder and put them on the stump and she would race to it and start munching. One day she introduced a light grey bodied with a brown teal youngster to the stump. She had disappeared, but the young squirrel is now keeping me company. I don't believe in feeding wild animals, but here in the corn barrens, small towns are kind of a sanctuary for some of them.

took my kids with me to hang some stands last week....kids absolutely loved finding buckeyes...and now have a stash of them...they had never seen them before

Speaking of squirrels and walnuts, would you believe I had the yard rats lined up outside my garage while shucking a pailful of walnuts? I would throw one down the driveway occasionally and they would run it down like a lab on a tennis ball. I've seen them go bonkers for peanut butter, never anything like that...

About a year after I left my parent's house, they had 6 albino squirrels in their yard pretty regularly. Not sure what happened to them.

There is a small town in West Tennessee that is known for.the large population of white squirrels. They have been there for many years. There is also a neighborhood in Memphis that has squirrels that are colored like Holstein cattle. I thought about taking a pellet rifle down there, but decided I liked my game warden friends more than I wanted a day mount.
