the trap is set
 

sorry if i hurt some ones feel goods .:love:.....but two days ago ,i was looking at the bird feeder w/ 5-6 tree rats (cant spell squirell)hanging all over it...i dont like squrialls, they have done alot of damage:fury: to my house , shed ,u know....so....i get out the have no hart trap and with a little p-butter as bait ..........i get 1 ....now how rid myself of the squarill in a nice way ????let it go else where ..NEVER...as a young killer, colector mothballs .no ....better faster C02 .i took a heavy plastic leaf bag ,put the trap in the bag and to my truck exu u know, and in two min its over.so far there team is down :gh:three players . its painless for me:jump1: i got to go and do it again .:devil2:..............anyone a squirrel tail for fly tying?????

:uhuh:

Got to get me one of them traps for new tactics...there are 3 less at my feeders, too. Trouble is the female members in the house have sympathy for the furry tailed rats!

I got a soft spot for them too...when I was a kid we had a couple of Pet Squirrels....my dad found 2 baby squirrels and brought them home. we fed them with eye droppers until they were big enough to eat nuts and such...then we let them go out in the yard. They used to come right up on our porch and we would hand feed them...it was pretty cool.

That being said...they can be a nuisance and you gotta do what you gotta do.....

a few years back at two of our buildings in Quincy the neighborhood squirrels learned to break into apartments for potato chips. They'd tear through the screen into the kitchen, ransack the place, then tear through a 2nd screen to make their escape. We set up a hav a heart at each building and would get a squirrel in each every morning and afternoon.

We had a rubbermade tote large enough to hold the trap. Fill it with water. Drop the squirrel filled trap in (we called it washing the squirrel - 'hey, give this a good wash'). It takes a minute, no noise or mess. We washed about 30 before the break in gene was culled from the pool.

If you let them go, even a couple of miles away, they will find their way back. And if they don't you have just made it someone else's problem.

I noticed a couple days ago something started chewing a hole in the screen on my shed window.....just happened to be right over where I store all the bird feed.

Just fill a trash barrel with water drop the trap in and luca squrrieli sleeps with the fishes

Mepps will buy tails if you get enough...

If you are gonna save the tails, don't drown them.

squirrel attacks
 

just read this tonight

Vt. neighborhood suffering squirrel attacks - U.S. news - Weird news - msnbc.com

I saw that!! It's a killer squirrel!!

Dude.....Please invest in a ^%$#@! dictionary......:smash::rotf2::smash:

How much are they giving u?

:uhuh::uhuh::uhuh::uhuh::uhuh::uhuh:

or...
he wears a little black cape and he's a VAMPIRE squirrel :rotf2:

let me ........................bite ........................your neck

check last spelling on post of squirrel ,it was a pun on spelling tree rat.but u knew what i was saying .....why belittle a person who can,t spell ???? does it make u feel superior ?? ...that comment belongs on that other hate n greet site...thanks 4 spell check.....

i had one of them tree rats here
that had chewed his tail off
and another whose tail had no hair

talk about tree-> RATS!

i had to quit feeding for now
because the red squirrels were
attacking my window being very mad
at my ska- whirl !!! chasin Dingo :uhuh:

Not to go all PETA on you but I hafta ask- is it legal to kill the little bastages? Do "Cruelty to Animal" laws only count for puppies and kittens?

Call me soft but I would have a hard time drowning them. I could not shoot a deer either but let it be known that I have no problem driving an extra sharp treble through the maw of a jumbo (or schoolie) bass.

:uhuh:

it's also illegal to transport them and release them too

but you cannot simply call up animal control either

as if it has the importance of a black bear sighting

and say: Um Yeah Animal Control? i have Um....
this threatening squirrel that is just really being a pain in my ass :grins:
~
now, the weirded out squirrel in Vermont biting peoples necks
he gets snuffed :rocketem:

and then analyzed for rabies..

Hell, animal control won't even remove numerous feral cats from an area. They (or some animal group) said they came around neighborhood, trapped the cats, spayed them, and let them go!:fury:

Firstly, they apparently missed at least one of each sex, seen kittens (:smash:) and secondly, using that strategy I have to put up with them through 9 lives, 8-10 yrs or whatever.:wall:

All am gonna say is you guys should skin them flour them and drop em in some hot oil and fry them up. Finger licking good.

5 to 0 i'm ahead of the long tailed tree bunnys

MassWildlife - Hunting of Gray Squirrels

:doh:

I dont that applies though because he isn't shooting them. He is trapping them.

ANY with nipples ?

Read the Prohibited Section.


and again, I don't have any issue w/ people doing what they need to do to rid themselves of a nuisance.

6to0 they just keep comming and going....i hope they all have nipples....2min its over:jump1:

The key to remember is "nuisance"!
I don't care what animal it is, if it's destroying my property, it's gone!
The state doesn't pay me to feed and house these critters, so once they come onto my property, they are MINE!!!

Plus.....if no one sees you do it, there's no problem.
Just don't go out selling squirrel tales/hides or bringing squirrel stew to the local pot-luck dinner.

I love the logic that you hear when trying to deal with a nuisance animal by legal means.
You're supposed to trap the animal, not kill it, your not supposed to relocate it, the state does that, and you can't feed (lure) animals into/onto your property, yet once they do it themselves the laws apply to YOU!

When I started my "War on Tree Rats", I didn't a little bit of research due to my yuppy neighbors.

I found this bit in the MGL:
General Laws: CHAPTER 131, Section 37
I'm no lawyer, but squirrels digging into my attic and ripping up the insulation has gotta be covered under part (2).

keep in mind tho
 

that these most LOVABLE lap kittens :love:
that purrrrr ever so softly when petted
have a purpose in Life..... or Job for Nature

they keep us from being over run by Oak trees
and chipmunkees, deer, and bluejays, red squiriels
all pitch in,,,, to give them a hand...

Problem is...they are not very good at Squirreling away
a private stash of Acorns in a hollowed out tree trunk
saved for a rainy day or a LONG winter.

So nature created them to have a short memory
and they are also paranoid possibly due to an extra
cannabinoid receptor :) in their SHRUNKEN little brains
so they'd "forget" where they buried all the acorns.:uhuh:

So, someday... you need to take a bag of perfect acorns
and a nice tall walking stick and take a friggan hike somewhere
DUDE, Stab the ground in the perfect spots and drop one in.

Be the SQUIRREL... :rotf2:

picture yourself long since passed way, say seventy years in the
future, it is now the year 2081.... As someone reads a thought
on a citizens internal chip @ FB that someone planted these OAKS.

Section 2 states you have to obtain a permit to trap them outside of the normal open season. Gray Squirrel season ended January 2nd. May need to get permission 1st.

Then he has to submit a report annually on how many you took.

I do know that I wouldn't be posting a tally online until I found out 1st :hihi:

I think you are referencing this under part (2):
"No such owner or tenant shall authorize any person, other than a member of his immediate family or a person permanently employed by him, to place traps for the protection of said property other than during the open season, unless such owner or tenant has first obtained from the director a permit authorizing him so to do, which permit the director is hereby authorized to issue in his discretion, unless such authorized person holds a trapping license."

Which states you need a permit to trap them during the off-season, unless you hold a trapping license.

And don't bother trying to ask EP any questions about it. They told me that under no condition and at no time of the year are you allowed to kill a squirrel on your own property or that is in your attic. According to them, regardless of the time of year, you must call a licenses pest control company.

Isn't that what I said..:huh:

You said kill, MGL says trap... unless I'm completely losing my mind.

There are other, more fulfilling ways to kill than trapping them first.:hidin:

There I fixed it.....

If you ever wake up in the middle of the night and find your wife hovering over your face w/ a pillow......at least I'll understand why :hihi:

its them down 7players and i'm not done yet...where do they come from :confused:

You don't know the half of it. I'm surprised she hasn't poisoned me yet. With all her medical training, I'm sure she knows half a dozen ways to kill me and make it look like a medical condition or accident.

Wasn't trying to argue semantics with you, but the devil is in the details when it comes to how the law is written.

errrrr make that 8 down.. and still comming ....here tree kitty...
