Default RE: Winter Squirrel - where'd they go

ORIGINAL: BOSS-2

Ok, so I've been out three times now, and two of those times I haven't seen a single squirrel....not a one. The last two times the weather was a little colder, around 30-35 degrees.

A couple quick questions:

1) Do squirrel have different feeding hours during the winter, or stick to early morning, late afternoon times.

2) Do fox & grey spend more time in the nest during winter months?

3) Better sitting or walking slowly during winter months.

Thanks.
1) Squirrels will usually wait until the sun warms things up a bit until they start moving around in search of food.

2) Yes and no. It depends on how much food they gathered during the fall months.

3) It is better to walk around and kick them up while feeding. Although most of the time, you will find them with their head burried in the snow looking for food if you stalk em quiet enough.
