'Ickie - Please Say It Ain't So!...'

In the State of Ohio when Trapping for animals you are required to check your traps twice a day. I don't know about New Jersey but it would surprise me if it is not the same.
 
Here in NJ, for some unbelievable reason squirrels - one of the most prolific pests around - are a protected species, so it's no surprise to me that those charges were filed. I ought to know. Twice in the last year squirrels have decided to chew through my car's fuel line in blatant assassination attempts. Because of that satanic rule, I couldn't take the old man's pellet gun out and return the favor after the first attempt, so it was just three weeks ago that the second event happened.

We're having a tree cut down next to the driveway which seems to have a squirrel nest in it, but I'd feel better shooting a few of them and leaving their decapitated little heads on little poles as a warning to their friends.
 
c'mon up here to the 3rd largest city on the continent. here, it is not just squirrels. it's coons and skunks. until recently we had coyotes, no kidding.
 
I was arrested for squashing some ants yesterday. Cops didn't buy the home invasion story.
 
The squirrel's family will probably file a "wrongful death" civil suit against the owner of the pest control company. ;)
 
Death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, death to squirrels, they are just tree rats.........:a1451: :pop4: :engel016:
 
i love my squirrels....theyre my buddies...i feed em in a lil box..and when i have my door open there are two of em that come up on the steps and lay down on the top step and relax....also have coon,skunk and a mountain lion that seems to like my yard...ack
 
Tree rats, you'll really grow to love them after they have gnawed a walnut sized hole in your facia and started gallivanting all over your attic, gnawing boxes, knocking things over and just causing general havoc!

Thanks be to God, I can kill the pests with my .22-cal air rifle. Good riddance, eat all my bird food too! Sad P., but 'em Yankees do got some ridiculous laws on their books. Down here, squirrels are cleaned, gutted, and parboiled and used in Brunswick stew.

Death to GREY squirrels, death to GREY squirrels :sniper:

The red ones are lovly little things :engel016:
 
The NA grey squirrel is a major problem in the UK. They are larger and far more aggressive than the native reds and have forced the reds out of almost all of their native habitats. They also carry diseases that the reds do not.

The grey population explosion means that they now outnumber the native reds by a whopping 66 to 1!

If nothing else, squirrels sure know their geometry and trigonometry solid. For some time now I've been trying to prevent squirrels from jumping off the roof edge in order to land on the bird feeder. Putting on a swivel, clear plastic cap on top of the feeder has helped some what. Plus,....I layered on a thick, non-running lube grease on the upper part of the bird feeder pole. It takes a moment or two for them to realize after passing over the 'grease-field' what they've gotten themselves into. Quite humorous. But they do per server and stay consistent in trying to reach the bird feed.

My wife likes to feed the birds, but I am sick and tired of the expensive squirrel eating habits. But now I have a good squirrel killing machine. She is a 7 month old 10 lb Main Coon kitten, about 3 ft long and she loves to go after the squirrels. She is faster than the squirrels......... Things have been here pretty quiet lately.:bump:
