because of the habitat distruction.fox squirrels live mostly in large pine timber,here I Fla. most of the big pines are gone.in Ga. where there are more big pine blocks there are a lot more of thr fox.
at least that is my impression.
in Fla. we have a limit of 2 and we hardly ever see one,(maybe 1 or 2 a year). in Ga you see them every day some times several a day,and they are not legal to shoot. Go figure.

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
