I would definitely put it on the wall! Awesome trophy
One other thing while we are talking! You often here about 'black' squirrels, there are 2 kinds of black squirrels - melanistic and agouti. Melanistic are jet black and more rare, whereas an agouti is one that is overall dark but the hair has bands of different colors in it. They seem to be getting more common too, not sure what is going on there, maybe global warming? or it could be Bush's fault!
