Tell me what ya'll think of this new (for me) color. I think I will call it Cajun Crawdad. It should be a killer in the spring when the tiny crawfish are out. Just whipped me and one special person up four of them tonight. The only bad problem is that I am almost out of red squirrel tail. :scratchhead It is tied with a copper-colored head, brown chenille body, and red squirrel tail.

You may be onto something. Interesting color. I like 'em.
I like it a lot. Nice job.
I like the color Pastor. I've been trying to come up with a more realistic craw pattern myself.
We did catch a bunch this spring on a orange and black hair jig.

Well, if you know where Welcome Home Baptist Church is located, then you know where I live because I live right behind the church. Come on over sometime. I don't know your wife's family as I have only lived here for 2.5 years.Quote:

I'm about to start harvesting some real soon!! They are tearing up my pecans, I have red ones, black ones, and even grey ones. I hate them they steal my ducks corn they steal my birds feed they sound like Santa Claus and the reindeer on my roof.
I either kill my own or get them from friends who have time to hunt.Quote:

The reason I asked where you got your tails, Pastor, is I'm about to start thinning out the fox squirrels and would be happy to freeze the tails and bring them down in February if you run short. Sounds like you have access to plenty but if you want mine you're welcome to them.That goes for anyone else. I'll be staying in the Monroe area.
Swap 20 watt a trip for some tails, also eat at cotton if you stay in monroe
Sorry to hijack the post. If you hang bird feeders on the 6+foot iron stakes with the arched hooks, you can attach at the top a cheap kids metal slinky on the vertical portion of the post. Gravity lets it hang down a bit. When the squirrel tries to climb the post, it grabs the slinky which gives and the squirrel ends up back on the ground. Hilarious and entertaining...the squirrel never gives up and keeps trying. Learned this from a you tube video. Wish I was smart enough to figure this one out. It's inexpensive and ingenious. It will probably work on any post a slinky will fit on.Quote:

I don't tie with squirrel. My wife might not like that too much seeing how we have a pet fox squirrel.Quote:

I found that the Tail from a Red Fox provides more of the color than Squirrel ---- Road Kill on a Backroad
I have never thought of that. I will have to start paying better attention to what I am driving by. Thanks.Quote:
