Probably won't see him ever, scavengers will get it first! Way to go, only an infinite number more to send to their graves!

I had issues with squirrels and raccoons right up the street from Slip

After taking out 63 squirrels, and fortunately rabies got the raccoons. I went with the Audobon feeder pole shield.

I've never had problem since as long as I mounted the shield per instructions.

Now if I could keep the bastards out of my birdhouses. I'm putting sheet metal inserts in the entry holes this year.

PR, I saw something on the news about that last night. They said that the robins we have around here now are northern robins coming south for the winter and that our robins were south in the Carolinas, Georgia & Florida. They said that when our robins get back you'll know because they'll be thin from the flight back north. Let's see -

I'll be curious. He fell in the middle of nowhere so the tracks and digging will be obvious. Should have had at least a couple more but I suck.

Don't worry PR, they'll be more - it's like the attack of the zombies.

I get red squirrels too.

I have more deer tails and other teaser making stuff to last me a few years. Thought about collecting the tails and sending them off to Mepps, but I'm just gonna feed the local foxes for now.

I have a couple yuppy neighbors and the houses are pretty close so I'm trying to not draw any extra attention.

Sorry to hear that, I could see a call to the ASPCA in your near future.

What's the fine for killing a squirrel after the season?

I have a good friend who was reported by some yuppie for shooting squirrels
with his 22 in his own neighborhood.
He had to go to county court, pay a $2500 fine and turn in all his guns due to local weapon discharge laws.

The ASPCA heard of it and wanted to prosecute him for cruelty
to animals too but that was dismissed.

ASPCA was successful though in another town for a guy shooting RATS
in his garden!!!! Forget what the fine was,but it was stiff.

I could see it if he were shooting at yuppies.
