Nope. Can't help. They are small critters. Fiddly to deal with. Never heard of an Albert's squirrel. Are they endangered? Nope. "Least endangered."
They are the stone sheep of the squirrel world. Truly the most prestigious rodent Colorado has to offer.Nope. Can't help. They are small critters. Fiddly to deal with. Never heard of an Albert's squirrel. Are they endangered? Nope. "Least endangered."
My interior design goal is to have a whole bunch of big game euro mounts interspersed with full body squirrel mounts. My wife is thrilled and as you can imagine, very supportive.Every time I think about squirrel taxidermy, I chuckle. Every….time….
I thin they must have been fox squirrels. Big red ones.Gotta head to the Ponderosa forests to find Abert's. This distribution map is...very generous.

Was he charging?Here is a Pope & Young fox squirrel. He was in full rut. Called him in with a Possom Holler double reed Dominator diaphragm Barker. Put the smack down on him with a 2 blade RAT Wacker expandable....Didn't go 20!View attachment 241773

Phenomenal specimen. Now how would one go about taxidermy-ing such a fine beast?Here is a Pope & Young fox squirrel. He was in full rut.

An archery kill without the bow in the picture?Yup. These big ol bastards. To clarify, my cat only goes outdoors on special occasions, such as to admire my 2020 backyard archery Fox Squirrel trophy.

I'm new to the archery game. Next time I'll have a photo with face paint and the bow. But it was captured on video. Excuse my wife's foul language as the squirrel made a mad dash for the neighbors yard with an arrow through it.An archery kill without the bow in the picture?
That's one of them ninja squirrels with body armor. I thought everyone knew to use the big stuff on them? I'd pull out the deer rifle, maybe a 30'06 with one of them copper bullets, in case you want to take a shoulder shot.I'm new to the archery game.

I believe the city frowns upon the discharge of firearms in city limits unfortunately. Plus it would absolutely ruin the hide, and set back my progress of collecting various species of squirrel hides for a technicolor dream squirrel coat.That's one of them ninja squirrels with body armor.

Believe it or not every taxidermist in the Hoosier state does it. Turkey and whitetail is 90% of their work so they are happy to do something different. If I ever had one done I would buy a kit and do it myself. Tanned a ton of them when I was a kid and even made a possibles bag for my black powder stuff when I was around 13-14 years old. Made the head the latch with buttons for the eyes.Phenomenal specimen. Now how would one go about taxidermy-ing such a fine beast?
