no it is definitely a red squirrel, Im not sure if we have the grays up in north idaho or not. I would be happy if we did though because they're much bigger then the red ones so more meat!

Turns out, my arrows are close to 550 grains, which im very happy about. the more weight, the more power!!

Your arrows are a bit light. Try a 300gr single bevel next and maybe.....just maybe they'll be ready to eat when you pick them up...LOL!

We don't have many here, but there is one in a tree off my balcony. He's my little buddy. I call him "Lemon Pepper" for my own reasons.....mwahahaha!

At 10 yds you're lucky that it didn't charge you Gunnar!

Good shootin' and eatin'!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Gunnar, check the regs.  Red squirrels are a protected nongame mammal in Idaho.

As already stated, it looks like a gray squirrel
(not red or pine).
Nice shootin'

Post by: Gunnar Mullins on April 19, 2010, 04:28:00 PM

i do see the similarity, but its got the tail of a red squirrel, and it acted like a red squirrel, it wasnt very shy (until i shot at it) lol

Title: Re: small game
Post by: bolong on April 20, 2010, 12:39:00 PM

Just the opposite on size down here. The red ones, we call um fox squirrels, are bigger than the grays (cat squirrels)

I was curious about all the disscusion about different species, so broke out the ol' guide book.

Here in Oklahoma we have Foxes and Greys. Reds (according to my Mammals of North America 3rd ed.) are found in the northren tier states where conifers (pines) are present. It says that Reds are a kind of Pine Squirrel.

Still a heck of a shot on a pretty small target.

thanks for the info buddy.. yeah up here we have mainly conifers.. not a whole lot of deciduous trees.. yeah it was a hell of a shot, its now officially black bear and turkey season, so hopefully i can get the same shot off on one of those two..

I shot a very nice squirrel one day that was one of my best shots ever....it was a southern fox squirrel..silver with black mask.  They are now protected but back then you could shoot one in that game zone.

Beautiful animal and tasty too.....i had it mounted just like it was when I shot him.  Man that was a long time ago...some good memories.
