RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
hey Rob,
I remember chatting with you over in the taxidermy forum. You had mention that there was a blonde squirrel hanging around. I like the pics, it would make a nice mount. What type of tipwill you use on your arrow when/if you try to take him? Didn't know how much damage a broadhead would do to the fur?Keep us posted on your desision!
thanks for sharing!

Very Very Cool.. I would have a tough time not popping that one with the pellet gun in the back yard if it was at my house.. lol
But if you'd like leave it alone then more power to you.. Would make a very cool mount though..

Awesome pics, my friend.
I went out bowhunting a squirrel (yes, I was specifically driving 30 miles several times just to chase after "A" squirrel)... it was a red fox squirrel with black sides and a snow-white back... coolest-looking mutation I'd ever seen.
I wondered then, and still do: would a field point hole be reparable? I'm not sure a blunt would deliver a killing blow, and wouldn't want to wound it so that it could crawl up into a tree and suffer...
Good luck to you in whatever you decide.

Awesome looking critter. As much asI like dead squirrels better than live ones, I think I'd have to trap this guy. You'll ruin the hide if you shoot it(maybe not with a field point). Anyway, trap it, put it in a big cage, and feed it for awhile. Maybe the little bastard will go domestic(that would be win/win). If plan A starts going south................KILL IT........NOTE----Blunt force trauma to the head won't cause any noticeable hide damage. [:@][:@][:@]
