Ol ETipp and I are making a road trip. We’re driving west for those stuffed ear squirrels. Then we’re driving to India for one of these View attachment 364041

I can’t believe how long that tail is.
Pretty cool looking.

I’m getting twitchy to go out. Fitted a new peg to my powderhorn today, and waiting for my new bag to show up tomorrow. Off work on Weds and it’s supposed to be a decent day. Think I can get out, burn some powder, and scare some squirrels.

Best of luck Staredge. Have fun and give us a report.

I’m going out in the morning.

I did TDY's out West in my prior life. It's cool to see those Alberts squirrels w/ ear tufts - he's an elegant feller. Numerous around Fort Carson.

PS Those Douglas squirrels you see around Yakima and Mount Ranier have tufted ears but much less pronounced; also a handsome dude as rodent's go lol.

Me thinks the reason for the wild looking hair-do around the ears and long tails of those squirrels is due to the exceptionally strong winds in the area.

You want to go Ed??

No way, man. Me thinks those pics and videos are photoshopped and those crazy looking rodents do not exist.

I can see it now if we were to go on a road trip in search of those mystical rodents. The first people we stop and ask about them, it will be something like this.

"Hey Sam, check this out. We have a couple more easterners looking for those myth squirrels. Reckon I should tell them that I don't know where to find any of those squirrels but I do know where they can locate a Leprechaun guide to take them on a unicorn hunt".
