Very nice system. Were they trapped? I didn't see any bullet holes. Were you able to save the meat? We love squirrel, black, Grey, or fox. We don't eat red squirrel. When my son was small we would skin and stretch our squirrels that we hunted and sold them with our fur at fur sales. We would get .50 cents to a dollar.

no we sell online to people and don't sell a ton of them but we do sell them. Don't eat the meat and yes these are all trapped.I do shoot red squirrels though with a .177 air rifle-way less damage than a .22 short or l.r. Nice thing about the greys is they have fairly heavy leather -not tissue paper like the reds. Thinking of sending a bunch to the fur sale in Idaho or Montana like they had a couple weeks back. They have very nice thick short fur-wish we had blacks here but only greys and red squirrels-fox squirrels too but not many.Thanks for the tail splitting tip bctom cat Didnt think it was legal to sell game animal parts-grey squirrells unlike reds are not a furbearer. Maybe not a game animal in MB,just vermin?

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Good question... Law says the same here but we can sell Deer hides and Squirrel tails?

I know here in MN it's legal to trap or shoot squirrels while in season. Just not sure if you can legally sell any parts of them.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I put up about a dozen last year and donated them the the MTA's tanned fur program.
