Personally, I've never seen a fox squirrel in the mountains of North Georgia.

They like pine trees and are easy to see from far away. I dont shoot em anymore. Got some neat colors to em.

Protected in FL...lots of em on the plantations around us. They are prone to getn squashed by vehicles unfortunately.

I had a fascination with fox squirrels growing up. Wanted to kill 1 so bad I couldn't stand it. More so than a big ole buck. Finally killed a nice black 1 when I was about 13 or 14. Felt so guilty about it after. I got it mounted but still to this day I can't kill 1 if the dogs tree it

We are covered up in them in lower SC.

I see no reason to shoot them but if someone wants a good mount, I am all for it.

Ground travelers, for sure.

Last I saw them was a deer hunt on John's Mountain. High up on a ridge

I have plenty on my farm. I just like watching them. On the other hand, a gray squirrel is food.

Saw this one today at Alatoona.

Let’s try again with the picture. I will have to try later when I get a better signal. I’m still in the woods…

Piedmont NWR. Treed they with my dog down there. You should run into one walking and looking.

Won’t shoot the ones on my place. Enjoy seeing them too much.

I used to hunt fox squirrels hard…in MI growing up. There were so many, you owed it to yourself to cull a few dozen of them so they wouldn’t drive you crazy during deer season.

My mom got so sick of squirrel stew, fried squirrel, squirrel snacks, and squirrel broth in September. My dad was amused that I had the patience to clean and eat all of them.

The fox squirrels down here are less common and very interesting looking so I just like to watch them now.

They are one of my favorite animals to watch. I won't ever shoot one.
