Look at the size of this red squirrel
 
Look at this huge red squirrell i shot. It weighed two pounds and one ounce and was 24 inches long from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail.





It was nice eating, the meat was very tender and moist. Not dry and tough like older squirrells. Shot with a 12 gauge single shot

I shot it when i was walking back to my truck along the railroad tracks. The river runs along the tracks and there are more in the area like it.

I'm down in Kentucky going to school and this last couple weeks I've seen some BIG squirrels like that. Probably not THAT big...but close and definately enough to make you stop and "What-da-heck!!??[&:]"

In this territory, NYS, that is a gray squirrel. However, I know that they are called different things in different areas of the country!

NO MATTER WHAT... IT IS HUGE!!!

It's big, and it's known as a fox squirrel. Plenty of them around here, but their numbers are starting to dwindle.

yeah i have to agree with criggster,it is a fox squrrel..A a grey squrril is solid grey and like 2 times smaller than that beast.

with squirrels that size i think the minimum squirrel caliber requirements need to be .45-70 or something

Yeah it looks like a grey squirrel to me too.

Here grey squirrels must run big or something as most grey squirrels here are big though, and that is one big squirrel regardless, Congrats to you.

looks like a fox to me too. Grays around here are solid gray from head to tail with white belly. And they are ALWAYS smaller, but maybe that's how they are around here, who knows.

I shot my biggest fox squirrel last week and it too was huge. Not sure if it was that large or not though.

Yes. It's a fox squirrel. Here's a link of a picture of one alive.

Definitely a fox squirrel , reds are smaller than that , more the size of greys . The ones at my house pig out on all the acorns and hickory nuts they can eat , they frequently get as big as my arm .

RE: Look at the size of this red squirrel
 
It's a fox squirrel. They can get up to 3 pounds.
