Throughout American history, squirrel hunting played a significant role, with many early settlers and beyond viewing squirrels as a food source and even paying bounties for their removal due to their abundance. While squirrel populations have decreased since the 18th & 19th century, they remain a popular small game species, and squirrel hunting continues to be a popular pastime.
DID YOU KNOW? Gray squirrels were once so numerous that they were considered a nuisance by pioneering farmers, leading to the payment of bounties for their removal

I suspect most of the decline in squirrel numbers, compared to the Colonial Era, is related to the loss of the American Chestnut tree. That loss is what made Passenger Pigeons go extinct.
