I have to go with 3. But I don't know if it is 2-3 or 3-4.

Paul,
For me it is a combination. In Urban environments, my average was 4 to 5. In Suburban environments, it would be 2 to 3 while in agriculture areas (10+ acres) it is 3 to 4. What's even more surprising to me is that when litters aren't present, all of these areas only produce 1 and sometimes 2 squirrels so my question becomes if the average litter is 2 - 4, where do all the youngsters go?

Eric, "Where do all the squirrels go?" is one of those customer questions I have trouble with. The last few years we have had an
over-abundance of all squirrels, with grey squirrels leading the pack. It is difficult to explain that by the end of the year, Mr.
and Mrs. Squirrel will have turned into a family of 10 and that even if 8 of those 10 are eaten, run over, or something else kills
them, we will still be left with over-population. I guess it's a good thing that squirrels taste good or the whole area would stink
to high heaven!
