We never see pairs of fox squirrels here. They are always solitary. Almost 100% of CRP in the Southeast went into pines. At first they would do loblolly, the preferred species for fast growth. Now, the only one they will allow is longleaf.
The #1 nuisance species here is deer, far and away. There were always some that lived in the deep swamps, but in the late '60s and early '70s they moved out "on the hill" and learned to cohabitate with people, to my regret. One has been coming inside my farm shop headquarters at night, going under the equipment shelter, jumping up on a 18 ft. trailer, and eating treated peanut seed that spilled onto the floor of the trailer.
Interesting that there is a red fox squirrel up north. We see fox squirrels here in several color phases, but never red. Thanks for the links, John E.
