Squirrels - I really hate them

[mechtech2]

If squirrels did not have a fluffy tail, but a ratlike scaly appendage, they would probably not exist anymore.
Their vileness would cause them to be hunted to extinction.

That's why G_d made possums! Oversized rats!

It's time to start appeasing them. I suggest you go purchase some sunflower seed and start negotiations.

all you need is a good coon hound.

Mine's named Janet. She LOVES squirrels! Eats every bit of them from the head down to the tail.

But no one ever sees her catch one.

sorry about your troubles, Overkill...

But I find squirrels are rather cute buggers with their bushy tails and twitchy movements

You'd hate me too. I once rescued an orphaned baby squirrel. It was my pet for seven months through winter.

Not sure how good everyone is at shooting, but I'd bet most of the people who said "go shoot" would miss by a few inches and damage something else along the way. Squirrel is pretty small, and if it's me I'd use a trap or rat zapper and call it a day.

I catch them in a hav-a-hart trap and then take them into the garage to shoot them with my pellet gun.

Eastern Gray Squirrels are an invasive species in Washington state. While I can legally kill the Squirrels,my neighbors are a bunch of bunny huggers and would probably set up a candle light vigil for the Squirrels I kill.
