Ha! I don’t have a single point I could hook up a squirrel electric chair. Would loved to hear them sizzle though. For now, I caught a good sale on squirrel ammo and I do still relish that thud of the 50 foot drop to the ground.
I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen gray here. They have been everywhere for as long as i can remember. They are like an infestation.
I don't think i could bring myself to do that. That's some psychopathic s**t
Ryan , you might change yor mind if like Tom they were attracted to the wiring in your car, I think the bill on his truck and car was in neighborhood of $10K. Those kind of numbers can change your outlook on things. they breed to food supply.
Western red pine squirrel is only squirrel that is native here. Some moron released a few invasive grey squirrels in late 60s. So far they seem to stay close to cities, otherwise the reds are doomed. The reds are about 1/3 the size of a grey. Greys are agressive and reds timid. end result is no more reds. Now if I lived a little further out I would have score card on my wall, I did for the skunks.
But then again the skunks presented a different problem. They dug up streets to in sewer which disturbed the dens in the culverts that never see water. go outside in the early morning and sit down to have coffee and watch the skunks stroll across backyard. Got so Bad that Kathie had to be very careful in her gardens.
I grew up on farm, neighbor paid cousin and I to trap skunks, she had 100s of chickens and they were eating half or more of eggs. Gramps taught us to trap without getting sprayed. June paid us per skunk. this supplied us with 22 shells for summer. 1 den 30 skunks. next 18.
in my back yard we put a pile of bird food-took screen off window. First thing in morning check pile- trusty .177 pump pellet gun got 14, they were denned up in my dry culvert. I did not realize at time but 3 neighbors had same problem-different cure. next door-tree hugger paid $50 a skunk to live trap -remove and release elsewhere. probably came back or became others problem. 2 houses from him-live trap and 50 gallon barrel of water and the other neighbor put straw bales in front of shop-bait and shot with 22. the 4 of us all on about a 3rd of our block removed over 50 skunks. I personally only had a problem with the released ones.
