I went squirrel hunting yrs ago. My now ex said I walked like an elephant thru the leaves and I complained too much about all the skeeters. For some reason skeeters love me and always swarm me. Puffing on a little cigar didn't even help. Not fun when they keep swarming around me the whole time. And in the bottoms they are big as bees...lmao!

I went squirrell hunting every year until about 6 years ago.... My boys were big enough then that they could go by them selves. ( you know how it is they dont want momma tagging along LOL) I loved to go hunting, Still deer hunt with hubby ( when we get the chance) being on the road all the time working doesn't leave much time for hunting... I tought both my boys how to hunt and clean the squirrells. Had to teach hubby the basics of cleaning squirrells and deer also.( He was a city boy till he met me ) But they all caught on real quick like ... ( but still if I wanted it done with no hairs left on it to pick off or done quickly twas best fer me to do it LOL) But I do know there is nothing like squirrell gravey poured over fried taters with a nice hot buttermilk biscuit on your plate( and in your tummy!!!) MMMMMMMM Makin me hungry here aint even had breakfast yet !!!

Daddy use to squirrel hunt all the time. Never cared much for squirrel. Not as many of them around here as they use to be.
There is a town about 20 miles from here that all their squirrels are solid white. Not albinos, just white squirrels.
I'll see if I can find some info about it and post it.

When I lived in Bemis we fed the squirrels sunflower seeds. We had two white squirrels, a blonde colored one (first time I ever saw one of those) and a gray one. That was in the 90's. I wished I could have brought them with me when I moved to where I am now. I got pics somewhere on a cd of them too. I will post them if I can find them.

I don't think I have ever seen a white squirrel. Or a blond one. Those are beautiful pictures. And they are from around where you live?

Yes, cali. That was my backyard when I lived in Bemis. lol, there was a big tree by the walkway, to the outside shed and the roots grew under it and made it stick up. I only live about a mile from there now, but haven't seen a single white one here. All gray. I used to throw stuff at cats that came in my backyard because they would chase them. Awww, you just couldn't shoot a cute white squirrel could ya? Reckon it would be better to have them in critter board but this thread was about squirrels. ;D

I just couldn't shoot any squirrel. I have only one here that I have seen. I am not a hunter I guess. I just can't watch them and think about it on my dinner plate.
