Do I or Don't I

[stykbow67]

Had this little feller at about 10 paces the other day and decided to let him live another day but after I got to thinkin about it it would probably make a pretty cool mount instead of ending up Bobcat fodder! What do ya all think should I or shouldn't I!!

Man... he is beautiful.  Only you can decide that one.  I wouldn't shoot it so that maybe he/she could pass on those genes... and maybe I could see it again someday.  I wouldn't look down on you for shooting it either, as it is truly a rare trophy.

[KentuckyTJ]

yep, he would have been in the man cave if my aim was true. shouldn't be hard to find him again if you change your mind.

Very unique what a great trophy he would make.

That is one cool looking tree rat right there! If you would spend the $$$ to mount him then you should take him. If not, then let him go.

Make a cool mount!  You just don't see them everyday!

That is a toss up.

I only kill things that I eat, because otherwise I feel as though I have killed in vain.

Eating the animal is a form of respect and so I do not feel as though the life was wasted.

If I saw that squirrel I would shoot it. I would then force myself to eat the animal, as much as I dislike eating squirrels.

Finally, I would make a really neat mount for the man cave. Probably put him in that same pose or one similar on a branch and hang it artistically from the wall.

You would be showing the animal respect each time you shared your story with someone that was visiting.

That pic is all you need. Frame it and hang it in the man cave. A mount will just be collecting dust in no time.

USN Sam   Come to my camp in South Louisiana for sq. season and I promise you will enjoy the way we cook Squirels.Dark gravy.cooked until tender with salad,bread and sides maybe a red wine to top it off.Kip

[Plumber]

he would make a nice little edition to the cave.not everybody has one of them.so if you make up your mind to go git him you will probally never see him again.good luck

[kwc]

always wanted to mount three squirrels chasing each other around a tree one black, one gray,an a albino only saw one once in my back woods if you dont take it another predator will it makes a nice bright target good luck in whatever you decied

[Bjorn]

I suppose everyone knows the joke about the guy who brings his dead pet squirrels to the taxidermist.
Taxidermist asks "you want 'em mounted?"
Guy replies "Nah, just shaking hands will be fine."    

[Richie]

Shoot it , would make an awesome mount.

Theres a town here in Illinois that is famed for its albino squirrel population. They're protected by law...now whether thats a local ordinance or state law I dont know as its also illegal here to harvest an albino deer.

[wooddamon1]

I can't believe a hawk hasn't killed it yet, but I would let it live just to maybe see it again some time. Gotta be some kind of omen maybe?

[fujimo]

naw let er go- we dont need to kill everything we see-just for the sake of killing. heck- i kill a lotta deer!thats good nuf for me!  imho!!

[NimRand]

That's cool. I do some hunting in Southeast Nebraska and have never seen one. The only one I ever saw was when I took my oldest son hunting in Michigan. We both saw it but he had a good view of it from the treestand. I only saw it bouncing through the brush.

[ishoot4thrills]

If it's squirrel season, I would try and take him.

[Terry Lightle]

Turn one loose on him

[Iowabowhunter]

That is a neat looking squirrel!
