This one cost $195. The other two were $140 each but that was about 8 years ago.

Do all the fox squirrels down your way look like that with the white face? Here in Ohio they are all the red/orange color.

Yeah, most have a black mask with white snout, except for the rare solid black ones that I've yet to see while squirrel hunting. Most where I hunt are the silverish color with black mask/white nose. Prettiest one I ever saw had a solid black body with a snow white head, rather than just the white nose or mask. Looked like he stuck his head in a bucket of white paint. Saw him while deer hunting with nothing to shoot him with. Not being able to shoot and mount him still haunts me!

Same sort of thing happened to me this year. Except it was a gray squirrel that had a patch of red fur down almost his whole left side.
