Are they ground squirrels or tree squirrels

In Chicago they are probably grey squirrels maybe fox squirrels but not ground squirrels.

When I was a kid my grandma legit told me to chuck rocks at any squirrels I saw in her yard cuz they'd f*ck with her garden.

I never did.

That's too bad, grey squirrels are considered tree squirrels.

I asked because Illinois allows a homeowner to kill ground squirrels without a permit.

No, attacks are rare. Coyotes legit creep around mostly unseen.

And at a distance a lot of people here mistake them for dogs.

U slurring your words?

U never heard of the alien big cats? Stop being so lame. I'm in Chicago this is like saying I don't know about Resurrection Mary.

Yep, definitely had a coyote run right up to me while I was riding my bike one night in Lincoln square. Freaked me the **** out, because I didn't know about them at the time.

Tree squirrels for sure in this case. They make a beeline to them every time I come out of my house.
