I’ve noticed that the black grey squirrels have been spreading since I started hunting, and there’s now a population of black fox squirrels in my neighborhood.
Something I don’t see very often are these rusty/dark belly grey squirrels, but I’ve shot four or five this season so far. Usually I only get one or two, if any. But they seem to be increasing as well.
The rusty/dark patterning isn’t always the same. The one on the tailgate has a rusty stripe down the belly, the one on the freezer doesn’t. It will be interesting to see if these increase like the black phase has.
