I started my day out with some venison stew for breakfast then headed for the woods. I'll post some pic's too because the video is a long one, took me about an hour to upload or more. It's the first red squirrel I've gotten in a while. Dave I did see a few chippers today but not at he opportune time leaving the woods. I did a lot of walking today, started out in my favorite squirrel woods up near the lake and that's where I got the fox squirrel. I then proceeded to the deep woods from there but I only seen one fox squirrel about a hundred yards away. I moved around a little in the deep woods and after about an hour I decided to head back up by the access road where I got a fox squirrel yesterday. That is where I got the red squirrel

I envy you, Wayne.
If I want to take a walk in the woods, which I love, I have to drive for 2 hours.

Nice pickings Wayne...Keep those videos coming!! Not too many Fox squirrels in North GA so I tend to give them a bye when I come across them in the woods. I did see a white and black squirrel last weekend, which is even more rare in North GA so gave him a bye also.
