I am pretty sure this is an invasive Eastern Grey her in Oregon. I want to be sure. We have several 'native' species here and they DEFINITELY have a legal harvest season.
Thank You.
Thank You.
Grey Squirrel. Commonly referred to as Tree Rat here in Alabama. Also known as Target. They multiply quickly and destroy things quickly. Better kill them off quickly.

Thank You Sir. We have a Western Grey Squirrel, with a season and bag limits, that looks damned similar but I am pretty sure these are Eastern and they are considered invasive.
I'd like to reduce the population as we've had some underhood insulation eaten from two of our vehicles.
I am implementing a "Zero Rodent' policy.

If you are having any property damage, you may be able to take the pest at will. Of course check your state regs, but the state ain't gonna reimburse you for the damage, so handle it as you please!

The regs are millions of lines of text and I need to find the correct line. The Eastern variety is considered "invasive' and would LIKELY have no season or bag limit like the California GS.

That's an eastern all right. Westerns tend to be all silver and white with no brown/tan coloring on them and in their tail.
Pew pew away!

Eastern grey: public enemy number 1 in UK, invasive to the west coast of US. It is not the native western grey so if a squirrel isn’t 100% grey and white with a huge fluffy tail on it, blast away!!!

After I saw the damage they caused to my neighbor’s house no rodent gets a pass in my yard. A quiet 177 shooting hades at 580fps or 7.5 FPE is dedicated for “zero rodent” policy enforcement with multiple backups too!

looks like a juvenile grey .. yeah, a real 'menace' to everything and a threat to your existence lol .. the scenario that usually happens is some 2 legged stool sample wipes everything living out in an area but a few babies survive and make it and eventually venture out .. theyre usually not too damaging to anything that size ...

Looks like the tree rats that are common around here in Massachusetts.
I have a ton of black walnut trees here and so for me it's the damned little red squirrels that I have to deal with.

Yeah, all you need now is the flour, water, spices and some rice. A skillet full of those and some brown gravy, YUM YUM!

That sounds delicious however I have witnessed those critters eating electrical wire and wonder what else they eat.
I wonder what wines 'pair' well with plastic

If a squirrel falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it does it make a sound?

I just recently identified my backyard squirrels as the eastern grays. I live in Washington state about 20 miles south of Seattle. I’ve been seeing them around my yard for years. I never see any more the two at one time. They have never caused any damage to my property. So because of that I have given them a pass. But I am starting to consider taking them out. If they are not native. Then this would be a benefit to the native birds. And I must say the biggest annoyance is them sitting at the bird feeder and eating all the prime seeds. So I’m contemplating an experiment. Take out these two. And wait and see how long it takes for a second pair to move back in.
I’m really on the fence about dispatching these two critters. I don’t kill stuff just for the sake of shooting. I enjoy seeing wildlife in my yard. But just the same if there is a bigger population than I am aware of. This could be just the same as taking out starlings.

@survivor45 There is more than two of them. They all look the same. Shoot two and there'll be two more there tomorrow.

Most electric wire insulation is made of soybeans. That's why mice and rats will eat car wiring. Greys will chew through anything to find a warm place to nest though. They don't eat plastic though
