A lot of the pictures are not very clear since they were originally posted on PHOTOBUCKET. Still a lot of good information. We don't have that species of squirrel in Alabama. https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1126006/snaring-the-western-red-squirrel Note to self- Engage brain before opening mouth (or hitting the ENTER key/SUBMIT button).
