Squirrels
Cacatch:
Nooooo, actually I need some clarification - I always thought red and fox were the same, but I read in the link you put up where fox work the best for strings and red aren't as good. I meant to say I think we only have red here. Because ours are kind of small and pretty smart. Don't get me wrong, I still plan to try it no matter which they are. I just don't know the difference between red and fox, I always thought they were the same ???

I guess we were El-D. :D Isn't there even a tool out there to help you cut perfect rawhide lacing circles?
Everywhere I've lived we've used red and fox interchangeably to refer to what is really a fox squirrel. There were gray squirrels in Illinois, but they were smarter, smaller and harder to get a shot at. Our Texas fox squirrels look like this:
One time we got a trail cam picture of a more proficient squirrel hunter having success at the feeder:
Boy, the Moultrie sure takes better pictures than the Remington. :o

There is a western red squirrel, which is a pain in the arse when hunting, and it is smaller than the grey squirrels. The Fox squirrels down here in Florida, are reddish and grey, like a fox, and a black, and a reddish with some black. They get pretty big. Both the fox and grey squirrels are quite tasty. My mother used to cook them with dumplings, just substitute the squirrel for the chicken. She also used to fry them, like chicken. Either way was delicious, but my favorite was squirrel and dumplings, with a side of field peas, and fried okra, and fried corn bread, a platter of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet and onions, oh man! It just don't get any better! ;) :)
