Default Albino Squirrel

There's an albino squirrel running around on our family farm that I am wanting to shoot and get mounted. Does any body have suggestions for what bullet to shoot it with out of a .22lr? Also does anyone know what squirrel mounts typically run?

A shotgun would work if you aren't too close.

With a .22, I'd use a solid bullet and not a hollow point. Possible a .22 short, but be sure your gun is sighted in with the short. It will hit different than the .22 long rifle.


I'm going to guess $150-$200 for the mount.

I did one for my nephew a few years ago. Did a black one for his father too.

Why shoot it? Albinos are pretty rare, I'd let it be. If you do insist then I'd use a target bullet for a 22lr and choose your shot wisely... no head shots.

I killled an albino last year and had it mounted. My mount was $150 and the guy did a great job. Get after that little critter before a hawk picks him off.
