Don't wound one and have it go up your pants, you will question if there is a god. Cool trophy though

Very cool. Neat looking squirrel, we don’t have them in my neck of the woods.

Few can appreciate a true trophy squirrel. That is a beauty. I'd consider mounting it up, personally.

Nice squirrel! Melanistic phase of fox squirrel or grey? I've seen a couple black fox squirrels and shot one when I was a teenager, but have yet to see a melanistic grey.

Nice squirrel! We have quite a few black grey squirrels hee in central mn at my folks place. Probably a 1/3 of squirrels we see there are black in color.

That is really cool, Tim! It looks like a real nice sized one too! I have seen a few of them down towards north field and cannon, never able to get one though....

They are a black color phase (not melanism) of the grey squirrel. We have lots of them around here. I saw one this year with a big white spot on the tail. At first I was like "what the hell is a skunk doing in a tree", then I looked through the bino and it was a squirrel.

Yes, but how was the packout of your trophy squirrel? That really is a neat looking squirrel and I would for sure keep the pelt ....... truthfully I'd have a taxidermy bill.

It's my understanding that W. K. Kellogg brought some black squirrels to Battle Creek from somewhere overseas many decades ago and we have more of them at least in the LP than fox squirrels now!
