True fox squirrels are nearly extinct in this area. There is a Delmarva
strain.........I saw one 30+ years ago. I agree with you on the taste (but
don't dare bring one home to cook). Thanks for looking, Jim.

Growing up in Mississippi, in the 1930s, red ones like that were called "fox
squirrels", because of the color. They were often a little larger than their
gray cousins. They all tasted the same. :-)

have strange genetics. There are normal ones, albinos, tan ones, and now this
one. All are enjoyable.............and very well fed.
