Guest HoppeMan Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Has anyone on here ever shot a black squirrel? They seem to be pretty rare, I've seen a few but never had a chance to get a shot at one Pictures of them would be nice Take care, Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ohbrother Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Black Squirrels In the sixties, and early seventies, the crew I hunted with killed many black squirrels. I personally killed about two dozen, if my memory serves me correct. Have not seen one since about 1972. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Black Squirrels There are areas in Southern Ontario that the black squirrels out number the greys by a significant margin. The black ones seem to have an advantage in harsh winters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Black Squirrels They are regional in these parts. I've never seen one at my home. But an hour or 2 north of here they are somewhat common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Re: Black Squirrels Ive seen a few. I killed one fox squirrel that had all black where the bright orange was suppose to be (belly, underside of tail, face, etc). I really should have mounted him.....

M00N Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Re: Black Squirrels Up in NW PA where I hunt we have a few black squirrels. I haven't seen them in any open squirrel seasons, but they sure show their faces when squirrel season is closed. Locally we have red phase grey squirrel genetics. We had a nest of baby squirrels that I got to watch grow up last year where one was normal like a grey squirrel with a reddish-grey bushy tail another was a light silver with red tint over the entire body and another was a normal looking grey squirrel all born in the same litter to two normal looking parents. Infact they were just raiding my bird feeder a bit ago and I had to chase them off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Re: Black Squirrels We have some fox squirrels that are all black except for the tip of their nose. Here's one I took a picture of at a golf course. I've never seen any where I hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
