Shooting squirells

isn't always necessary..........

because some play nice and eat the seed that the birds flick on to the ground inadvertently when looking for that perfect "one" seed to fly off with.

others fill their mouth pouches and run back and forth filling up a cache
in a hollow tree until the feed is gone and can empty a feeder in a single day.

they will chew up the plastic and wood feeders and destroy them or get them to drop onto the ground and smash spilling all the seed in a single act. I have watched them do this.

the only ones i'd shoot were the ones that had already been caught in the trap once and would have nothing to do with it ever again.
these were the very destructive squirells that caused the most havoc.
