Fox squirrel in California now has a season, hunting regulation change!

Hey gang

Just want to post this for all the folks in CA. Thanks to @SacramentoSam I realized fox squirrels are now classified as tree squirrels and has a season. They were specifically spelled out as invasive with no limit nor season before but that changed this year. Here is the news letter and there is only "tree squirrels" under small game section, and tree squirrels includes all tree dwelling squirrels including fox squirrel.

"Four types of tree squirrels are game species in California. The Western gray squirrel and the Douglas squirrel are both native to California while the Eastern fox squirrel and the Eastern gray squirrel have been introduced and not native to the state."



So don't shoot them on public land out of season in CA!
