What kind of squirrel is this?
« on: February 17, 2013, 04:57:34 PM »
I put out some COB a couple weeks ago for elk, hoping to keep tabs on the bulls in this area, where I got pictures of 2 or 3 bulls a few weeks ago. Well, I did get a few elk pictures, as they walked by on the trail, but they never stopped to eat the COB. Don't seem to be the least bit interested in it.

Checked the camera today and had 939 pictures, but most of the pile of COB was still there. I was a bit perplexed as to how 939 pictures were taken but the COB wasn't gone. Yep, you guessed it, I only had three pictures of elk and over 900 squirrel pictures. Last weekend when I checked it there were no squirrel pictures. So they just found it this week.

The pictures aren't the best so I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of squirrels these are. I think I've ruled out the Western Grey. But could be a Douglas squirrel or an Eastern Grey. Looks more like an Eastern Grey to me from the coloration but I thought they were bigger.

So does anyone know for sure? I'll post some cropped pictures as well as the un-cropped. The cropped pics are quite grainy.

OK, sounds like most agree that it's an Eastern Grey. That's what I was hoping. Never ate squirrel before, I think I want to try it! 

Might take the .22 out there next time I go.    :IBCOOL:

It's not a Douglas Squirrel... I know what they look like--not grey, and not that big!  I'm not familiar enough with the two greys you have there to tell.
