Actor trapper Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 6,696 Newark, Ohio 83 years	Back in the 1950's there were a lot of Fox squirrels like that in my area/ In this area the older they were the lighter they got... a little like my hair. There are still a few fox squirrels in my area, but the grays have taken over most of the area. The fox squirrel like big old trees, where the grays like the scrub trees and more hilly area.

You Ohio guys have a different fox squirrel than we do here in central Pa. Our fox squirrels are the color of the tails of those in the OP's pic and the above pic. I stand corrected on my opinion. Cool squirrels nonetheless
