Stupid things are so loud! They love playing mind games with me. Had one go as far as to get on a stump, partially behind a tree during twilight and shake his tail up and down like a deer.
They're good fried and served with gravy. .22 ammo is cheap and picking off squirrels is darn near theraputic.
I think they're awesome to watch in the woods. Crazy athletic and it never looks like they are not having fun. Kind of annoying at times but so are turkeys. If I could be any animal for just a week, I'd be a squirrel, run around the woods, find where the biggest deer live, then when I return as a I human I shall kill said deer.
I hate them. Had one tare a hole in the screen as come in and grab some bagels. I chased him for a month and shot him with an arrow as he looked at me in my back yard. This of course was after he climbed up and down my sliding screen door.
I laughed. Annoying yes, but I even by being as still as possible and see how close they will get (~2.5' is my PR). Then its my turn... And the birds of prey where I hunt seem to find them delicious. I've watched hawks/eagles take them out many a time.
We just had squirrel in a red curry sauce and then a couple days later I butchered a turkey, 40 lbs dressed weight.
I don't mind eating them, I just hate them when they are alive...and in the woods...by where I'm hunting. Yes, I hunt.
