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. |

I love squirrels. They are the first thing my dad started me hunting--at five. I shot my first one at twelve, and have hunted them since. View Quote 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. |

If you had 1500 buck in outdoor furniture, you deserved to have it destroyed just on general principles. Out door furniture is either plastic, handmade of wood, wicker, or an old couch you put on the porch. 1500 dollars. Also, limbrats is good eating, View Quote |

Squirrels don't bother me. I don't understand the hatred towards them. There are plenty of animals I'd like to see hunted into extinction, though. Deer is #1 on my list. View Quote |

View Quote 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. |

I hate them. A friend's pet one bit me once. I've been going Jeremiah Johnson on them ever since.

Damn right! Telephone and Internet became erratic yesterday morning, finally put back in operation late this afternoon. According to the lineman, a squirrel tried to build a nest in a termination box a couple of miles up the line.

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

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. View Quote I spring the trap every morning if there is no flying squirrel in it...put the bird feeders back up during daylight hours. |

I love the house destroying fuckers.
I love to mace them, only way i have found to get them out of attic with out them dieing and stinking up the place" Nothing is more entertaining than a tree rat with a face full of bear mace trying to get out of attic. |

anxieties I got watching that View Quote I like watching squirrels at the park, in the woods, whenever. Fun little fuckers to watch. They're even more fun to shoot and eat though! |

If they can survive the winters in Wisconsin, they get a pass in my book. The little furry fuckers never did anything to me.
Edit: Chipmunks also fit that bill, but somehow I don't like them. |

I too was just like you and Milton, I loved watching the squirrels. That ended when they started destroying my ham radio feedlines. I hate them, the dogs hate them, and they all must die! https://i.imgur.com/1SDL1vF.jpg View Quote |

Not particularly, but I was tasked with thinning them out.
Hitting them with a 168gr MatchKing was kind of underwhelming... |

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. |

I like squirrels. They amuse me.
But they can be very destructive. In which case, kill them. Same way with cats. They are cool, but once they start shitting in my yard its go time. |

They chewed into my attic once and cost me $1500 for an exclusion service.
Now I sit out in the backyard and terminate them with extreme prejudice a few times a year to keep the numbers down. |

There's a savage 17hmr that has a higher body count than the us military hanging in the pantry downstairs. Defense of pecan trees is a daily activity.

For some reason I read squirrels as "spirituals", and I wondered what the OP had against slavery-era Black music...

We have squirrels all over. I've never seen a shred of damage from them. They run around, jump from tree to tree, bury acorns.... thats about it. I can't wait for the day I can get hysterical over them! I'm always looking for reasons to go mother fuckin bonkers over asinine stuff.... but I'll be damned, those little fuckers haven't given me a reason.......yet. I'm trying to determine if twitching there tails while perched on tree branches is a good reason to lose my fuckin mind.
