My brother in law ( the nephew's dad) got a black squirrel the other day and wants me to mount it. I didn't start it yet. He's looking for a piece of white birch to have it on.
I think the blonde squirrels are pretty rare. The one my nephew got is the first one I ever saw, dead or alive.
I can understand not wanting to shoot it. It is probably nice seeing it around the house. Then again, it would make a cool mount.
It's your call
