Possession of squirrels

[infoman jr.]

I've found that squirrels are Class III animals, and no permit is needed to possess that class of animal. What I haven't been able to find is the legal way to obtain one. Can one capture a wild squirrel in TN and keep it as a pet?

No, it is illegal to trap any animal in TN and keep it for a pet.
