Redstone Arsenal has enough of 'em to repopulate the rest of the world. There's a lot in some places on Wheeler Refuge too.

Dime a dozen in this part of Mississippi

It was a fox squirrel orgy at my place Saturday morning. I bet I watched 12-15 in a 1 acre food plot and the surrounding woods chase each other for hours and stop and screw every now and then. It was a ball to watch. I sent my son out there with the pellet rifle the next morning and he only saw one and missed him.

We got some kinda grey/fox hybrid intermingling going at my grandparents place. Size wise they're inbetweem a fox squirrels and greys, Looks like a huge grey or a small fox squirrel. They're all grey with a red saddle on their back some bark like a grey other bark like a fox squirrel. When they go through the woods you'd swear it was a herd of armidillos had one scare of a fat old doe once after it climbed out on a tiny limb and past the weight limit of the branch and fell off hit the ground like a sack of bricks about 10ft from the doe

I have several fox squirrels that I see 90% of the time when I hunt certain areas of our family property. We're in Lawrence Co. The property has several small creeks running through it and in general is a fairly wet piece of land. I also used to hunt Wheeler Refuge in a lot of the backwater areas and would see fox squirrels a lot in there. It has me wondering if they prefer areas that have a lot of water or near water, anyone ever studied that?

From what I have seen is they seem to like areas next to fields or pastures.

Yup, they are slow movers and do well near cattle pastures mostly because farmers dont like to do any shooting near their cattle. Fox Rats almost become pasture pets.

Yep. They like pecan trees too. We are pretty covered up with them on one place I hunt
