Sota's semi live squirrel war 2019

I don't have that kind of time, gone for work too much.

 

I had the same issue at our old house in NY. They would destroy my garden every year.

I finally bought myself a Gamo Whisper and managed to kill like 80 of them one year without any of the neighbors knowing. All I did was open the window next to the kitchen table and sit there for 20 minutes each morning while I was eating breakfast and shoot every squirrel that I saw. After about a month they started to thin out pretty good. Anything under 30 yards was toast, and it would kill about half the ones I shot at out to 40 or so.

 

I've been catching reds and greys in live traps around the house. It doesn't kill them but nothing says they have to come out alive.

 

Its an easy job to reblue a barrel DIY. Lots of resources on line. I used to make some money doing reblueing jobs when I was in middle or high school.

 

I have it! Could get a bit messy but I'm thinking it could work. Just wrap this around the tree. Not going to kill them but you could do that dirty work.

Yeah every night when I go up to the barn to pick the horse stalls Shart will go in the clean stall and lay down a crap that would gag a buzzard.

 

Traps arrive Thursday I will post pics and start the body count over under is 30.

 

What did you decide on for traps?

Over

 

I will post up pictures when I get the traps. Pretty much a box trap with a rat trap in it.

 

While reading this I was smiling thinking of this

 

With a cat named Shart, I think its fitting.

 

Well I wear hoodies in stead of cardigans and have a full head of hair.

 

Build a couple boxes for #110 conibears.

 

I already ordered traps I may expand the trap line if fur prices go up.

 

Is the surplus getting sold after the coats made or is your wife not interested in squirrel fur?

Might go full length fur coat.

 

You need to show us some topos or conceptual drawings of the property so we can give you useless assistance:-) this thread is exactly what is needed for the post hunting blues! Thx for sharing.
