when i was say twelve
my dad got ticked off at the squirells.... because they were eating all of the maple buds (because they're sweet) and the trees would only have half of there leaves on them come summer and looked like hell
not to mention them trying to chew their way into the attic to run across your ceiling at night while your trying to sleep.
so it was 25 cents per tail... was the bounty...
i'd collect tails where ever i went from cars running them over
and i shot everyone i could until the population was reasonable.
i had the best allowance of all time... that year...
and the next year the maple trees looked outstanding.
