The squirrels around my house all have them. Never seen them as bad as this year. Usually I don't see them this developed until mid to late September. We've had some cooler weather lately that may have sped up developement. But almost all the squirrels around here have them. They don't hurt the meat and don't go any deeper than the skin, and the squirrels recover completely once they come out. But dam, they make for some ugly squirrels.
