Trophy Tree Rat

Post by hunting170 » August 24th, 2010, 2:17 pm

Any of you guys ever seen a squirrel this color?

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.
But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.

No I haven't. Where did it come from?

I saw it in my yard a couple weeks ago. I wasn`t going to shoot it, but it looked like a gray through my scope. It`s an old male. I`ve never seen it before, and I`ve lived here for almost 5 years.

170, you're about an hour away from Olney, aren't you? Don't they have a massive population of albino squirrels? That one is certainly not albino, but amelanistic.

Yes they do Rafe. Actually the first thing the taxidermist asked me was if it had black eyes.

I've got a light gray one running around my place. Seen him for a few years now.
