No, but I bet they are delicious. I'm imagining Malabar giant squirrel vindaloo.

 

[bullbugle307]

That is one crazy looking squirrel.

 

[Chad Gus]

If one of those made it to our yard and tried eating out of the wife's bird feeders, she would execute it immediately, regardless of how cool it looks

 

[Hammsolo]

Is the 6.5 Creedmoor enough gun for Malabar squirrels out to 400 yards?

 

[JTHOMP]

I wouldn’t be mad about having that as an invasive to hunt.

Hmmmmm... for bigger members of Sciuridae I’d probably lean more towards a RUM.

With a Berger? I’m looking for maximum hydrostatic shock for ultimate knockdown power and DRT kills.

Probably a good call. We’d need the extra penetration for any potential Texas heart shots.

They run at the sight of hunters with man buns so yea the gun will work but you will have to get them on the run if they see you.

Reminds me of a time I saw some county employees in a neighboring small town repainting the double yellow in the middle of the town road from their truck. There was a dead squirrel in the path of the fresh paint and the guys just painted over it . Left a squirrel silhouette and a bumble bee looking squirrel!

Will only wound them - 30-06 minimum for ethical kill of anything with giant in its name
