    thought there should be a place for oddities.
    This is all that is left of a cow skull that was in my back yard.
    The squirrels have gnawed it down to about nothing. One tooth left.
    They are getting minerals from it and sharpening their teeth (I suppose) I am not squirreloligistPXL_20220528_012449091.jpg

    Departing Contestant Wow, we have never had that problem with skulls left out. We have had a couple of elk skulls up at our camp that have been out for five years and the only thing that has interest in them is the kids dog. We have lots of grey squirrels up there, maybe they don’t want to meet the same fate the elk made.

      johnsbrewhouse i have always had a lot of respect and admiration for grey squirrels. i think they are cool. Red squirrels (tree rats) are our problem. You can see in the upper left of the picture they have started on another one I put out

        Departing Contestant There is a super ritzy part of New York called Whiteplains that have jet BLACK squirells. We always joked that they couldn’t even have the same rodents as the rest of us! I like squirrels too, fun to shoot, fun for my dogs to chase and also, pretty funny to just watch them!

          I think you are right on both counts. Mineral supplements and tooth sharpening. Rats and mice will do the same thing to bones and antlers.

          Jonathon We have almost all red squirrels around here. From time to time you will see black ones. I have been told they are the same species as red squirrels and the color variation is just a genetic mutation, kind of like albinism.

                Departing Contestant We found one in our front yard when mowing a few weeks ago. I said just put it in one of the beds for some western style decoration. Then it completely disappeared altogether. We have no idea where it went, but it was a bigun.

                      Yep, my hunting buddies and me have had our rattling antlers in our shops chewed on too and it was not squirrels.

                        Fried Squirrel is very good. Squirrel dumplings in my opinion is the way to go. My brothers and I go each year on a Squirrel hunt. The results are a very tasty bowl of Squirrel dumpling made by Mom.

                            Squirrel in a crock pot with some chicken stock cajun seasoning and rice at the end and that is some fine dining and it does not matter if it is young or old all will be tender.
