    We do, in Ontario we have grey squirrels and red squirrels, and same thing you can take I think 5-6 a day during the fall season, but no touchy the loud ass tiny redheaded Dingus that is blowing out your deer stand…

    Also we have black Grey squirrels here, so I have been known to say to a red squirrel “hey friend. Don’t worry, shut up I’m not after you, but if you have any black friends…”

    Then I die inside.

      That’s a brilliant reply. Thank you. I’m really tickled by the “Got any black friends?” comment. Sentences to never take out of context and all that… I’m gonna do a little research now as I’ve seen one or two brown (?) squirrels which I always assumed were red/grey cross breeds. I take no pleasure in killing animals but it has to be done… (to anybody who might disagree with that last bit - sadly it’s a fact. It’s not an opinion. Without human intervention many species would cease to exist. We made a mess and now we’re trying to clean it up.)
