Wish I had that job. I to love your site, I hit it heavily before purchasing my Marlin 17vs. Keep up the good work. Your squirrels look difrent than ours down here in Oklahoma or am I seeing things?

BHW always has photos Are those black squirrels in one of your photos or just the lighting?

TreeDog,

They are California Ground squirrels. The scientific name for them is Spermophilus beecheyi. They dig holes in the ground where they live. I once saw them in an oak tree that had a big hole in it where a branch had broken off, but normally they don't climb trees. In really dry weather, they will strip the bark off of Buckeye trees to get moisture.

That explains it Al, thanks. I imagine they do a good bit of damage to the fields your way.

Here are some squirrel hunting pics from northern Michigan. I use a Treeing Feist squirrel dog.
