    Thank you sir! I've been wondering how to do this for years. Now I'm off to find some quarters under the couch cushions.

    I really think squirrels are just naturally curious and they show up to investigate the sound. I don't think it sounds like a squirrel to them any more than I do but they do come in to check it out.

    I'm surprised they'd even come around. Them little fellas have an acute sense of smell.

    Of course. It's probably my peanut butter flavored deoderant that I use in the woods.

    Does that work better than tuna melt?

    He is. I was just trying to make the case, that you're smarter than him.

    Well, he does live near the ocean so I'm sure with that deoderant he'll attract sharks.

    Sad to say, Nutty Buddy was flatened by ye' old garbage truck. To make matters worse his remains were devoured by a turkey vulture. Dust to dust.

    That would be just my luck. Live out my whole life only to be turned into turkey vulture poop. That ain't right.

    They are so darn thick even us hillbillies don't bother to hunt them. My "attack" beagle even gives them a little dog food. I think he baits them in, he's gaining weight and squirrel tails are all over the yard.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
    to fight... he'll just kill you.

    theres a guy on youtube
    his screen name is johnjayrambo11111

    he has videosof many simple traps
    i think like 150 or so

    even alot of his crush traps can be adapted to snare and save the fur.

    most of them are just branches and cord type of stuff.

    ive tried a couple and they work great.
    its also sorta fun to widdle away at some branches and make these things.

    hope that helps.

    thanks bladen. I'll look into that as soon as I get time. I got half a dozen projects going on after work this week and it's hunting season so that kills my weekends, I get some research done late-nite and will watch some vids before bed. Thanks!
    I also love making things with my hands. especially things that get me food!
