Grey's make for better pictures but I can't tell a difference in taste between them and blacks. Are blacks can have various shades or red to brown to bourbon color
I do hunt them for meat. 17mach2 is ideal for fat Ontario squirrels. I use a 22lr for hunting areas with more sparse population due to the noise. 17mh2 for more open areas when the leaves fall and they're on the ground and 410 when in an area with higher population earlier in the season when they're mostly in the canopy. 1/2oz copper plated 6s and a turkey choke kills them clean inside 35 yards
Slow cooked and smoked on a rotisserie they really are tasty. Pain in the ass to skin once the carcass gets cold though
