Squirrel

The Squirrel (Sciuridae) is a common small game animal hunted throughout North America. They are tricky to shoot; once a squirrel spots you, it will normally scurry to the opposite side of a tree. Squirrels will be found around areas with nut-producing hickory trees. You can find them feeding at dawn or just before dawn, when the weather is calm. Fully-developed deciduous forests will reveal squirrels. Different types of squirrels include red squirrels, gray squirrels, fox squirrels, ground squirrels, and flying squirrels.
