    Squirrel hunting is fun i did it allot back in montreal and there great to eat and you can easily keep the skin just by salting it. Does anyone know what those ones are in the bush locally are they douglas or fox?

    In the lower mainland there are a lot of Fox squirrels. They are fun to shoot with the pellet gun
