you and your grandchildren are missing out. Fox squirrel is the finest wild game in all of North America for table fare, and mighty fun hunting too. but I've never seen them doing well in loblolly or long leaf plantations in the 20 yrs or so that I was working in them.


Their value as table fare has nothing to do with the reason I refuse to shoot them. I have a strong connection with fox squirrels. They remind me of me. They are solitary beings. You never see them in pairs or groups. I can't explain it actually, but they're just special to me. Cat (grey) squirrels? Nah. Kill 'em all as far as I am concerned. Nothing but tree rats.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
