I saw my first one in Forsyth County today. Strange coloration and not nearly as large as I'm used to seeing in northern and western counties.
Most likely a juvenile. I ran across a strange one also recently. View attachment 58243

I didn't get to see the underbelly of this one..but his coloration was very similar. More like a boomer than a fox squirrel, except he had black feet and a black mask. His ears even had the little tufts like a boomer, but he was a shade bigger than a grey squirrel.
There is a band in Davidson county that is colored like the eastern ones.There are some fox squirrels in Forsyth and yadkin counties. They should be more reddish than the ones down east.

I am not an attorney, probably could lease by the day. I am guessing if he went along it would get sticky though.Could he (legally) just charge a trespass fee and point them in the right direction?

A guide license is only $15 and there are no testing requirements to get one in NC, unlike a lot of other states where you have to take a course.Could he (legally) just charge a trespass fee and point them in the right direction?

Do any of the counties in the mountains WNC have fox Squirrels? I have never saw one in Haywood.

The fox squirrels are all over the Sandhills game land in Scotland county. Find some big longleaf pine trees where there is a few turkey oaks or any oaks nearby. Just set down and wait and let the woods get still and quiet. Those squirrels are HUGE down there and have the best colorations. I just enjoy seeing them. I saw 2 real pretty ones this Saturday while hunting with the dog club. One had a solid white face, pink nose and brown tail with a charcoal body. I was hoping to get a pic but he never came close enough. I see a lot of tri colored ones and solid charcoal ones.Just started on grays this year and been having good success at Jordan. I'd like to try for fox squirrels. Anybody have advice on Sandhills game lands regarding them? I've found squirrel hunting so enjoyable I may just put off my goal of a first deer this year. Are there any others that stick just to squirrels? Those are some beautiful creatures in those photos. Congratulations.
