Back To The Fox Squirrel Woods

My son and I headed back to our hotspot for the Wiley ole Fox Squirrel.  Last week when we went my son saw 3 Fox Squirrels but didn't get a shot on one which is ok since Colby got one but he wanted to end the Fox squirrel season right by getting one.
So, back to the Hotspot we went. My good friend Rodney met us there and we split up. We kept seeing lots of grays but I told him to hold out for a fox Squirrel. The day was pretty uneventful until right before dark.  Right before 5 I hit the Squirrel in distress call and had 4 grays charge us and climb up a tree 30 yds from us and they wouldn't quit barking. We probably would of shot them since it was late in the day and they were small we passed on them to let them grow. I told my son lets head to one more spot.
We got there and he immediately spotted one and we chased it up a tree. The ole 37A Winchester barked and my son had a nice silver Fox Squirrel . He was shooting 6's today. The pictures don't do his Squirrel justice as it is a silver one with a red tail . When we met Rodney back at the truck he had also connected on a Saddleback colored one. A nice day in the woods.
