Squirrel Season

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. :sneaky2:

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

Does that work better than tuna melt?

I thought Ken was the one with the tuna melt deoderant.

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

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.

RIP Nutty Buddy.:taz:

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

you can't get this at mickey dees...

dah dah dah dah daaaah. I'm lovin' it!

Grilled. Fried. Baked. Mess of potatoes with gravy and biscuits. MMMmmmmmmmmm.

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.

yep, thats bacon! oh, you meant...

well if you're thinking it's a burger, it's definately NOT what you think it is!:innocent:

Oh, man. You left the rat tail on. Now that AIN'T right.

think of it like a popsicle stick.. something to hold on to while you eat! everybody likes finger foods right? hehe.

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!
