skewer a squirrel?

The only reason I mentioned that about the corn is because other non-targeted animals could consume it and it could lead to their long and needless suffering adn most likely death.

But, i don't think it matters whether you pile or spread the bait. the squirrels will find it. It might take a few days for them to find it regardless, but not likely.

I've made some fine sewing needles and a few fish hooks, awls, punches outta the bones.

Hope you get em and eat em up.

I would say use an old fiberglass arrow with an empty 38 case as a head. Bait with birdfood and shoot him in the rear, already skewered. Now where is the champion of RODENT RIGHTS?

LOL
I was thinking/waiting for the same thing...guess they aren't as popular as deer, cats dogs, etc.
Reading the black squirrel thread, it would appear that "Looks Matter".

I always thought they looked like a rat cooking on a spit, so my favorite method is to cut them up, bake them with rice, onion soup, and mushroom soup, those canned onion straws and tater tot's on the top.

Then there is squirrel cooked in sauerkraut, with dumplings.

Don't get me wrong, they are tasty, just don't look at them.

As with any hunting, patience is needed, but it sounds like this squirrel is really getting to you?

heck no. im just looking for a good meal, a nice pelt, and a few needles and other tools from this thing. oh and i plan on boiling with a thing of wild onions and maybe a few mint leaves i bought. it would be nice

Mmm, I boiled up that old tough squirrel the other day for two hours in a lil sage till the water dissapeared, added a lil oil and fried it up brown. It was the tastiest squirrel I ever ate, tender too.
