My opening day of Florida squirrel season

Oh, yeah. There's a whole lotta fun stuff you can do with it. It's kind of like building an AR, only a whole lot less expensive.

Seems like you can order them with all kinds of custom parts. Barrels, grips.triggers It is very cool.

Went to the neighbor's across the road this morning. Only saw one out of range. Went home and decided to take a stroll around my goat pasture . Saw a real dark squirrel, but thought somethings wrong here. Didn't shoot and it crossed over into another property and disappeared. About 10 minutes later spotted a "regular" looking gray squirrel and got him.

Now I knew that fox squirrels are on my road, but maybe a half mile away. Some look all fox squirrel like in Indiana, some are black and some a mix of tan and black. So a forum member is coming to pick up his free Lee Load-All this morning. He gets out of his vehicle and says I saw the strangest thing, a fox squirrel with tan body and black on its head cross your road into the property next to yours. Didn't know fox squirrels are around her. Yep, they are about a half mile away, pointing down the road.

I had no idea they are getting closer to my property. I now think the dark one could have been a fox squirrel, although not super big compared to a gray. I'll need to be careful on IDing a squirrel I intend to shoot so as to make sure it's not a fox squirrel.

To bad you aren’t closer, I’d let you hunt all the squirrels you wanted , they’ve become a pest around here. We have a few fox squirrels up on the farm but we don’t shoot them even though it’s legal to do so in Georgia. Most are grey and black but the ones that I like are mostly red and black . They are entirely deferent looking.

I see quite a few of those big, tan, almost white bodies with black faces. Not everywhere, they seem to congregate in certain places. The road heading into Leon Brooks Hines Lake is a good place to spot them. If I remember correctly, they might be some sub-species of fox squirrel?

Also, I've seen a neighborhood full of piebald to almost white "gray" squirrels, where my daughter and son in law lived in Milton.

I went for a walk today with an old single shot 12g that i bought on the forum. Passed up 2 in the thick stuff. When they fall i have trouble finding them, but the ticks have no trouble finding me. Finally sealed the deal on an old male. 1 or 2 more and its fryin time!
