    I do when the kids have time. Unfortunately, thats after deer season is over and they have already annoyed the hell out of me. I swear its impossible to reduce the population around here.

    Is that a squirrel call in your son's hand? If so, how do they work for you? I have thought about getting one but am a bit reluctant.

    It is good to know that you can provide enough meat for your family to have a snack, though. A small snack.

    Yeah it is a squirrel call. It works okay. Definitely better when the leaves are still up. My Dad gave that to him so he insists on bringing it every time. I had never used one before.

    Hey, I have three deer in my freezer. Will hopefully have two more before the season is over.

    Were ever I hunt I seem to have at least 6 within ear shot at all times. I would like to light them on fire. Their mind games are endless and after 3 seasons hunting they still fool me and have me looking. I killed and ate 3 in sept. first time and it was good.

    Dude, you have no idea.

    I thought about taking my .22 pistol, sitting until miday deer hunting... then around lunch, unload on some squirrels, I've even been looking up some recipes.

    I watched a fox squirrel make some "home improvements" to his nest this evening. He would gather leaves and meticulously place them in his nest. Then out of no where, a smaller gray squirrel chases the BIGGER fox squirrel away and STEALS his home. Kinda crazy I thought.

    Moral of the story is...even squirrels hate squirrels. :)

    I once saw a squirrel humping a rabbit in the middle of the road. The two exhibitionists looked up as if they knew what they were doing was wrong. I went home and looked in the bible, but it doesn’t have anything in it covering interspecies relations, so I guess its ok. Any who… just throwing that one out there. Talk amongst yourselves.

    Yes, they are spawns of Satan sent to harass all hunters the world over. They specifically target bow hunters, too. It's true...hand to God. :)

    Squirrels are a bunch of tards, but the funniest thing I've ever seen involved one. Had a fat one running along some oak limbs and he hit the weight limit on it I reckon. He fell about 15 feet and landed with a thump. He laid there for a good 5 minutes, thought he'd keeled over. But apparently he was just unconscious cause he staggered over to the tree and began the mission again.

    While I am not the biggest fan of squirrels, I can't believe no one brought up chipmunks. THOSE evil, evil little, despicable things are tops on my hate list.
    Hell to me would be 1,000's of chippy's running around in crunchy leaves and making thier little chirping alarm noises.

    Yes, chipmunks are annoying. Red squirrels are my worst enemy. They are the combinations of the worst characteristics of both a chipmunk and a fox squirrel. There are tons of them around here. They are the be the first ones up, and the last ones to bed. They chase each other constantly and have that annoying call. Man, I used to love shooting them as a kid. I felt satisfaction with each one.

    Those little red squirrels are the ones I hate the most. They just hang out in the tree above me and drop nuts on my head. Wait, I really didn't just type that did I?
