Well hello all you Minnesota/Wisconsin boys.

I am looking for a couple hundred black squirrels-late fall/ winter skins. Skinned tails on. Trapped not shot. If there was a way to buy them in the carcass I would but I don't know if that works or not with all the finicky game and wildlife laws in U.S.A. Willing to talk price etc.. depending upon who is able to catch these and skin them etc..can discuss.PM me if interested

You probably want to talk to an ADC guy. I don't think we can legally trap the little tree rats here.

really? that's nuts-they aren't protected here at all-well our grey squirrels aren't-guess that kinda backfired right outta the gate!

Can they sell them if caught on a ADC license. I don't think they can sell ADC beaver legally in MN, can they? It seems like I have seen that posted on here, but I am not 100% since I am not from MN.

so maybe I should have asked which Northern State can trap Black Squirrels? and approach it that way?

We have a lot of black ones around here but you can't trap them, you can only shoot them during the season.

That is what I thought but wasn't sure. I know the DNR considers them small game. I run 50% blacks here I would guess.

The laws can be completely different between places. So maybe you should look into Wisconsin or Michigan… those guys might be more willing to let you trap.

Check the MN regulations. I thought I read where you could trap squirrels during small game season.

We have quite a few grey and fox squirrels in our woods. We had a couple people ask if they could hunt them a few times. I told them they could, but not to shoot the few black ones. My wife likes seeing them and likes having them around. They are rather rare here.

We had more squirrels, but a few years ago a fisher moved in and cleaned out a good portion of the squirrel population. One day I watched a fisher chase a grey squirrel round and round on an oak tree. Wish I could have caught it on film. A fisher is one cool animal.

According to the MN regulations, it is permissible to take rabbits, hares, or squirrels by hunting or trapping.

I saw that Once too, in the Oak tree next to my deer stand; Fisher chased round and round.
