I have always wanted to find something like that.


Also, are the two on the left fox squirrels?

Nice pick up skull. I have been out Squirrel hunting twice this year and of the 8 I have taken, 7 were Fox Squirrels. Seems they tend to hang in the creek bottoms and the Grays stick to the higher ground. I like that trick Ruger 10/22 also!
