Our town (Blissfield MI) is filled with Black squirrels, and some are pretty darn big. As a matter of a fact a few weeks ago 2,000 people were out of power for about 6 hours because one shorted out a transformer or something (that one was black for sure I bet;)).

If I get a chance I will see if I can picture of one. They look pretty cool actually.

I have a grey one running the trailer park I live in as well.

Thanks guys, Paul, I've seen many black squirrels in my life, this is the first and only blonde I've ever seen, other than a few mounts that were shared with me when I first posted this in January in the Taxi forum.

It's definately a blonde and not albino. I'll watch her til fall season and then decide. ;)

I've never heard of, let alone seen, a blonde squirrel before. Very cool pics, thanks for sharing. I admire your wanting to take her with a bow, but for such a unique trophy I'd want to be sure. A .22 would be a good bet if it is possible in your area and would be easy to repair for the mount.

Good luck.

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.
I can assure you a blunt would do the job nicely. I have killed dozens of squirrels with arrows that had everything from field points to broadheads to blunts and honestly the blunts kill them faster than field points. I believe this is because they transfer more energy to the animal than a field point. Most of the time when I shoot one with a field point they are pinned to the ground but thrash around for quite a while.

Beautiful squirrel...
I would probably let her pass, but that is just me.
She is awful cute for a squirrel:D

Nice Pic. I have a couple of albino squirrels that have been around the house for a number of years. (pure albino, red eyes and all) Have to find the pics. Took them about 3 years ago. That would be a sweet mount!!
