In the rules and regulations of SCDNR it is legal to hunt fox squirrels. In the mind of the most ethical outdoors enthusiast, the shooting of fox squirrels is not warranted. They occupy a niche in the natural world and their population seems to be a bit tenuous; strong in some places while barren in others. In they Lowcountry outdoors they hold an intrinsic value that places their well-being above their pelt. Harvesting a fox squirrel for the purpose of a taxidermy mount is fine. Again, it is legal to hunt them.
