Eastern Gray Squirrels

(1/1)

Bantams:
What license do I need for shooting Eastern Gray Squirrels? (There are no Western Grays where I live).
Would a big game license suffice? I don't understand why I need a license in the first place, since they're invasive and a pest - you don't need a license to shoot rats....
Thanks!

CP:
No license needed, same as rats.

GWP:
I hope you are planning to eat them! They also make great crab bait.

I am! I think it's the only way we'll ever "eat" our English walnuts from the 7 trees they pillage. 

Elk_Guapo:
A hunting license is still needed for Eastern gray squirrels, per the following excerpt from the WDFW site:  https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/living/species-facts/tree-squirrels



The Eastern gray squirrel and Eastern fox squirrel are unclassified and may be trapped or killed year-round as long as you have a hunting license.
