Few game are funner to chase with a good redtail hawk than a gray squirrel.
Squirrel populations are growing fast on the westside . I see them just about everywhere I go and hunt but its not like back east where you have thousands and can go sit under the hardwoods and shoot as many as you want . I notice a lot more black phase ones now . just have to make sure your not shooting the western grey squirrel thinking its a Eastern grey squirrel , best info I can give on that is that the Western grey is more Silverish grey / brighter in color and more brownish around the eyes . when I was growing up in PA squirrel hunting was my #1 thing . I sure miss those cat size Fox squirrels . Its about time to return to PA next year for some whitetail and squirrel hunting .. last time I was home there where millions since no one hunts them anymore !
lokidog, have you been working on the squirrel population in Sconny? Looks like you're in squirrel paradise.

I did shoot one when I was back there in September. Also saw an albino one that I decided to give a pass this year. Next year he will go on the wall, if I see him. I'm still mostly hanging here in WA, at least until next summer, but possibly longer.

Went back a few years ago in September and had a blast. I'll bet the TSA folks hadn't seen too many frozen squirrel carcasses in a carry-on!
The reason there are not a lot of squirrel hunters in WA is that populations of huntable squirrels are hard to find. All native squirrels are protected and the introduced ones are in mostly urban/suburban areas. This map is old so its possible they have spread a little beyond this but this gives you an idea of where Eastern Grey squirrels are found.
