Squirrel relocation project ;)

So, I will let it be known.....I can't stand the furry little buggers. They raid the bird feeder and torment the dogs mercilessly.....not to mention what they do to me when WT hunting back home. Since we are in the city and hunting is verboten I keep a hav a hart trap to deal with them. Got to watch this one pick peanuts and walk right in

I took the pics at the city park about .5 miles from the house where they get rehomed.

I know nothing about Colorado squirrels. Some cities ended up with a feral squirrel that doesn't belong to their areas. Is this a native squirrel? If not you should have shot it.

I trapped a squirrel under the hood of my wife’s 4 runner with a #2 Victor years ago. It had ate good part of the wire harness. It was not relocated.

I would have taken it a lot further away than 1/2 mile

As a practicing wildlife biologist/academic, I can assure you that at 1/2 mile distance, they might well have beat you home.

I can supply a most excellent recipe.

They are the best thing you have never tasted.

Growing up on the farm hunting opener ment squirrel hunting! Fox squirrel that was a prize, and yummy!

I've declared war on the suckers as of late. When you can't hear deer approaching because all you can hear is a whirlwind of leaves 360 degrees around you, it's time to get out the .22. And yes, they do taste quite nice. I don't think hardly anyone squirrel hunts anymore, or at least not in my neck of the woods.

The new Meateater cook book has a hot wing recipe that looks delicious!

HAHAHA! This is great!

I'm surprised they'd travel the 1/2mi too I guess but good to know!

Will that trap fit in a 5 gal bucket of water? A game warden told me once doing that was considered a humane way to euthanize a raccoon.

It is not. Humane that is. Bullets work.
