I hunt and fish routinely, and although I've heard of a fox squirrel, I didn't know that had anything to do with fishing.
Squirrel tails are routinely used making fishing lures and fly's.

Retail stores would actually sell the tails? Or just the hair from the tail?
Mepps fishing lure company has a squirrel tail program to recycle your squirrel tails. It is too easy to go to the store and buy a Mepps lure, I haven't ever tried to make my own.http://www.mepps.com/programs/squirrel-tail/Retail stores would actually sell the tails? Or just the hair from the tail?

I was looking for a few fox squirrel tails yesterday in order to have some custom road runners made for myself and some friends. I did not have any tails in the freezer. I called the, latest arrival, sporting goods box store to hit OKC and asked for the fly fishing department. The operator connected me with the fishing department. I asked if they had any fox squirrel tails in stock. I was met with.....................................is that a brand name? Huh? Do you know what a fox squirrel is? "Not really" was the response. Do you know what a grey squirrel is? "Not really" was the response. Do you hunt? Can you guess the response?????? "Not really". "Get me somebody that hunts". GEEEZ LOUIS!!!!! Is this real? "Hello, may I help you"? Do you hunt? "Yes". Do you know what a fox squirrel is??? "Yes". I am finally getting somewhere, I think. Do you have any in stock?? PAUSE, "we used to but we have been sold out for 3 -4 months". This is a consistent pattern with this particular box store. Nobody knows anything about their department, much less where anything is located in the store. Who the devil hires these people? Are they not asked if they have any knowledge about the department they will be working in? This is not the first time this has happened in this store. Please excuse my rant, but what is this world coming to??
I finally located a pile of tails from a hunter who did not ever work in a box store. Thank the Lord for someone who hunts.
