[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 187452, member: 704"] I have never seen a flying squirrel, but if you keep your eyes open you see some things you don't expect right here in North Dakota. Years ago when my boys were small we were hiking in the Badlands. I thought it would be neat to get a cottontail and cook over an open campfire. I was carrying a 357 with birdshot and when a grey cottontail sized rodent run across the trail in front of me I took a quick shot through the sage with the handgun. When I picked it up it was a Bushytailed Wood Rat. A large rock outcrop had dozens of middens and rats scurrying into cracks. I called the Game and Fish and they asked where I collected it. I guess it's the only known site with them in North Dakota and they asked me not to reveal the location to anyone. I sent the skin to them. It was about the size of a medium cottontail.
