How to remove squirrels from your deck..
« on: January 30, 2013, 11:06:05 AM »
With ammo as scarce and expensive as it is, here is a way to use some of that shooting equipment that has been tucked away in the basement for a few months without depleting those valuable resources...

An oldie, but a goodie.  I always love watching that one.

Personally, I've found a cubby set with a 110 conibear works great.  It's an effective solution to a persistent problem and it fills my freezer.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

we reload the lyman slugs in 20 ga for the boys to use deer hunting, they use a fold crimp so it's hard to tell slugs from shot

#1 son mixed a slug in with #6 used for squirell hunting - nailed a big red in a tall tree - made a hell of a mess ... but grandpa got another tail to make fish flies out of so it wasn't a total loss ...

Need to mark those slugs somehow.  Being sure of what is behind  your target is a lot different with a slug than with #6.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Someone put some bait on a clay pigeon thrower.  When Mr Squirrel went up to feast, the guy pulled the cord and Mr Squirrel discovered the miracle of flight.

I think that's how Rocky and Bullwinkle got their start.

I wish I could have seen the flying squirrel but I guess it's considered animal cruelty.

Animal cruelty, my ass.  That's animal hilarity.

And for the record, I've had a squirrel launch itself off a two story roof at me.  Launching one off a deck isn't going to harm it one bit.
