Picked these two up in about a half hour this morning. Two for two. Not bad for a 52 year old Mountie, and 51 year old eyes!   Roe |

I am not impressed with what the 52 year old mountie did; a 52 year old mountie could do that everyday for the next 52 years. It's the 51 year old eyes that could see the open sights that I'm impressed with. |

Got to get after them again. Brought home 4, but shot 5. I couldn't find one. There were 2 in a tree, I shot one then started following the other one in the scope and when it stopped I shot it. I then couldn't be sure where it was that I shot the first one. I looked for a long time with no results. I could've been looking in the wrong place for all I know.  |

Nice batch of bushytails, Sarge! I can almost smell the Brunswick stew from here.
We have quite a few black squirrels around Michigan, in pockets of population, generally where grey squirrels occur. It's said they are just a color phase of the grey squirrel, and I suppose that's true, as their size, vocalizations, and habits, mimic the greys. But there are areas I hunt, where I see Fox and black in abundance, yet never see a grey. Maybe this color phase has become the dominant color in those areas. The far majority are jet black, with a glossy coat. I've taken some where the guard hairs are tipped in grey, others with a predominantly grey underbelly.
Albino! Now that would be interesting. I would guess they would stand out quite a bit. I have seen Fox squirrels with all black underbellies, black where a normal Fox squirrel is usually pale. Interbreeding with the black/grey population or just a latent gene? I have no idea. I generally pass on them, hoping they will spread the odd coloration.
I once took a squirrel that was a chocolate brown, unlike anything I've seen before. Larger like a Fox, but very unusual. He was backlit and I unaware of his unique color, or I would have passed on the shot. I have a 35mm pic around here somewhere I'll try to find and scan.
