Thanks boys. Those boots are some good old, made in America, Red Ball insulated boots. I've had them for about 15yrs with no leaks. The insulation is real good, and have kept my feet warm for years. I think the Company is out of business now, like a lot of other high quality American companies.
The bow is my sons 50# 60" Martin Stick. Seems like a great shooting little bow for the money. I think he paid $250 new, and I think it only weighs around 12 ounces. I sent my friend in SE Kentucky, where they have mostly gray squirrels, a picture. He said "that thing is as big as a ground hog!!"     :D    
Again, thanks for looking at the picture. I haven't been it this traditional thing too long, and your comments really encourage me. Check out all the deer tracks next to me on that trail.    :eek:

I know it's been said before me but that is a mighty huge squirrel.  I hunt my fair share but they are Gray's and a big one is half that size...LOL

Not sure what the Fox Squirrel taste like but I'll take squirrel on plate over any other wild game all the time.

That does look like a fat one. Our season is closed here or I'd be out there chasing them also.
The squirrel rut is in full swing.
Great pic.

I think I like the taste of the grays a little better, but the fox is still real good.   :D
