For those of us that are unreconstructed Appalachian Americans, we occasionally revert back to our former ways and add a few squirrels to the larder. Unlike in much of the US, tree squirrels are rarely hunted in this state blessed with an abundance and variety of big game.
#Red squirrel license
All tree squirrels (including the diminutive red squirrel) in Wyoming are small game animals, requiring a small game license to hunt them. Neither was historically found in this state but have either followed agriculture to Wyoming or are the result of released former inmates. The fox squirrel and the eastern gray squirrel are also found in scattered populations in Wyoming, resulting from man's intervention, but belong to the genus Sciurus.

One of three species of "tree squirrels" in Wyoming, the American red squirrel (hereafter red squirrel) is the only native member of the genus Tamiasciurus ("pine “squirrels) to be located here.
