Nah....squirrels have entertained me for hours on end in the deer woods or camp. One minute they're playing like kids, another and they're fighting like gladiators. I used to like sitting on a tree stand and seeing how close they'd get to my stand. Curious little bastards if you barely flick a single finger and they catch sight if it.
Only critters i have kill on sight orders are rats and roaches. |

They can be tomato thieves too! Look at this fat bitch enjoying her spoils of war. She would never fit in the jar of the OP's post. They look all friendly and happy, but don't trust them and don't ever turn your back on them!

And there are plenty of squirrels way back in the woods that aren't familiar, that would be fine for some wild game stew or roast. Most gray squirrels here. A few little red ones lately, and the big fox squirrels are across the other side of the reservoir, alothough I have seen one or two nearby. Groundhogs are the varmint that I despise the most, amd one of the few animals I feel no regrets in killing. |

To all of you dumb asses who feed them, I hope they cause your transformer to blow and cause you a long power outage that you will bitch about as you feed the squirrels that caused it. And before the witty "I have a generator " retorts, I hope you have to run it a long time. Squirrel!

My daughter is 8, just shot her .22 for the first time last fall. Planning to leave my deer blind set up this year and take her and a .410. I spent so much time ignoring squirrels last bow season it was painful-she's begging me to take her hunting. Not interested in ducks yet, I'm not ready to take her walking all over the fields with a gun for pheasants and she absolutely will not shoot a rabbit(her favorite animal). I figure take her to a blind, hold the gun til time to shoot and let her do it. I asked if she wants to come turkey hunting next month. Her response? "can I take my gun and shoot a squirrel?" She doesn't understand open/closed season yet and squirrel doesn't open until September. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My house has cedar siding, it's a constant battle keeping those damned rats from chewing a hole in a wall to set up camp. Right now, I think I've got all of the grey squirrel holes covered over, but I've got fucking flying squirrels to eradicate. I've shot several with rat shot or .22 CB's when they've managed to get entirely in the house (usually they get in a wall and push their way down to the drop ceiling in the basement, where my office is). Planning to replace the cedar siding with Hardiplank or equivalent, but that's a $30k job. I keep a BB gun close at hand to try to reduce their numbers, don't want to go shooting a .22, even suppressed, outdoors. I spring the trap every morning if there is no flying squirrel in it...put the bird feeders back up during daylight hours. |

I've got several grays that live in hollow trees around my property, they're friendly, come right up and take a nut outta my hand.
Never had em' cause any damage or get into the garden, of course I live back in the woods, plenty of other stuff for them chew on and eat here. I raised a fox squirrel before and it was an awesome pet. Of course I eat them when I get the chance, but my friends the yard squirrels are off limits. |

There is a 90+ year old guy who lives across the street in the summer time. He hates squirrels, chipmunks, voles everything like that because he has great gardens and all of those things get in there and fuck with them. He always has some trap or some anti rodent operation going on to get rid of the little bastards bastards. One day the fucking transformer in front of my house blew and it almost gave me a heart attack. I look out the window and see the old guy standing in his front yard laughing at something. Since we now had no power and the action seemed to be going on out side I went out there to see what was going on. Apparently a squirrel had tripped the transformer and the fried carcass flew all the way across my yard, the street and into his yard where it landed in a still smoking heap practically right were he was working on his flower bed.
Having that thing get fried and shoot about 200 feet through the air and land right next to him made his day. |
