Those look like fox squirrels to me , reds are usually smaller than greys and those look pretty good size . I have lots of hickory and oak on my place , the foxies gets as big as my arm , reds would never come close to that .

Those are reds.

They just look bigger because it is a close up photo.

Foxsquirrels look like this. You will notice the one red squirrel amongst the foxsquirrels.

depends on the area they come from, in places in canada, fox squirrels are all black, same in louisiana, here they are gray/red like the ones in the second pic, with a black one thrown in now and then, where are those "reds" from? The red hair in the tails looks like fox squirrels but can't say for sure.

I shoot digger squirrels (atleast that is what we call them)
I have shot about 300 by now and we hunt with shotguns.
