i was even more enthusiastic about watchin the birds...chasin off squirrels that robbed the feeders
and my Dad says to me.... after noticing all the maple trees looked like friggan HELL ..... in the late spring and summer...
i wonder whats wrong with them Craig?
i said: I know exactly why ! they have so few leaves DAD.
the squirrels are chewing the buds off the trees because they are
SWEET as maple sugar.
he then bought me the hav a hart trap and i'd set it and sit there all day
watching it.... for hours on end.... perfecting my squirrel catchin ability to an ART form...
the reason you need the smallest one for the chippy's is because they don't weigh as much and sometimes they won't trip the bait lever on the big one.
the squirrels i relocated to the Charles river area after spray painting the tip of their tail silver ....so if they came back i'd know it.
soon, i was shooting silver tipped squirrels
with the trusty ole Sheridan pellet gun with the weaver scope before school
