Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Finally I was able to get a picture of the blonde squirrel that hangs around the house. I was torn back in late small game season to shoot this squirrel or not and mount it. I enjoy watching for it as much as I would looking at the mount. I know it won't be around forever but I'm hoping it's around til this fall season and then I'll attemp to take it with my bow. I believe it to be a female as she's smaller than the others. I first saw her around Christmas.

Very cool Rob, thanks for sharing the pics.

Squirrell Murderer.:(:D:D
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
wow thats really cool, thanks for sharing the pics
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Darn that is the coolest squirrel i have ever seen, but i agree with the fact that you must shoot it ASAP
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Cool!
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
I dunno Rob, I wouldn't shoot it. You know the legend and curse of shooting an albino deer? Heck, as long as no one hunts close by, I'd let her be. You never know, she might have a couple babies that look like her some day.

RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Rob, man I am glad to see that name again! That squirrel is awesome looking! An awesome mount , it would make. :D
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Wonder if hanging out by the septic lid had anything to do with loss of pigmentation? :D
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Hey a new guy that I recognize. Neat squirrel. Is it an albino or just a blonde? Hard to tell if the eyes are pink in the pics.
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Great pictures! looks like across breedofaalbino and gray squirrel...
|
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! crutch |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Can't wait to see the mount this fall
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
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.. Thanks for sharing. |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
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. |

RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
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. [:@][:@][:@]

RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Awwwwwwww......wait 'til she makes some cool coloredbabies!
That's really neat! Thanks for sharing!! |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Pretty cool looking critter!
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
I had a blonde squirrel in my room last night, it was pretty cool. JK
But seriously, that is an awesome squirrel, kill it or not, u should feel lucky just getting to see it. |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Wow, ive never seen a squirrel like that. A beauty.
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
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. Paul |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
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. ;) |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
That is very cool. Unique.
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
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. |

RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Beautiful squirrel...
I would probably let her pass, but that is just me. She is awful cute for a squirrel:D |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Very cool squirrel!
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
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!!
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
You going to eat it? If not let it live. Dont shoot just for the mount.
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
That is a real cool looking squirel.

RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
There is a town in Ill. Olney, IL to be exact that is loaded with those white tree rats. That is what the town is know for.
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
man he would be sitting on my wall!
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
cool looking squirrel Rob thanks for sharing
[/align] |
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
thats cool, id shoot it too and probably mount it
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
awesome Rob, awesome!!
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
Why not catch him in a Hav-A Hart trap, then take care of business, while not harming the fur?:eek:
|
RE: Blonde Squirrel (pic finally)
That would be too murderous, barbaric, and unethical. Squirrels (especially blond ones) must be killed in a decent, respectful, and ethical way, like his distant neighbor..............Odocoileus Viginianus...The wary whitetailed deer.
