Isn't there enough killing in the world already?

Shot and killed a tree rat from 150 + feet away with a BB gun.

That makes 5 this month. The record is 7...

Darn things are multiplying!


I love my Friday night beer. We also had quite a squirrel problem this year. So I found myself one Friday sitting on my front porch with a gun laying across my lap drinking a beer and I got to thinking-- shooting squirrels off the Front porch while drinking beer. Dang it, I might be a redneck!

Hard to believe you're bragging about this.
Bad Karma will befall you. Live and let live.

A good hunter always eats his kill. Tell me, how did you cook your squirrels?

You might have a similar problem I do.
Darn neighbor lady feeds the Turkeys, squirrels, deer and her Alpacas plus any other critter that comes into her 5 acres. Unfortunately that brings real rats to the property and now I'm catching about 5 a month where I never saw any rats for the last 25 years. Think we can get her to control her feedings? Nope, she loves all creatures, even ones that carry disease.
Any ideas of how to stop someone like her?

Local ordinance that may make illegal to feed wild life. Check with your county.

Wait until you get critters make themselves at home in your castle.

Wires isolation? Bon appetit. If you like bonfires, this will do it too.
Bathroom breaks? What is a bathroom?
Water tightness? That is for boat only.
Weird noises in the wall? Sleeping hours are not for you anymore.

Once it happens to you or someone across the street (as it did for us) the season is open all year round on nuisance. I have a black squirrel whose nest is in a tree, I never shoot at it. I do not shoot at birds or anything else. I spotted a flying squirrel a few weeks ago when we where cutting trees next door. I am still rubbing my eyes. That thing is not native of Florida. If I see it again I'll shoot it with a camera but that is one that will also be protected.

I spotted a rat on day when it was pouring but could not find where it came from I could not ambush it. I cock my rifle with no pellet and shoot it when I have stray dogs or cats.

Benefit of controlling those rats beside the house invasion? Birds. We now have nests all over the place.

If you are against all killings, why do you wash? You kill all sort of critters living in your skin that are beneficial to your health along with other nuisance. You likely kill more stuff doing that than my occasional squirrel.

It feeds other critters. I live the corpses in the same place and in the morning they are gone. No funeral, just food for something else. Possibly the fox family that hangs around in the wood nearby. Spotted them a couple of time this year in the neighbor yard.

Also I hope your wires have insulation as well as isolation.

I stopped shooting them a couple of years ago and now I trap them in a Have-a-heart trap. Then carry them off to Sheetz for re-location. Last night I noticed that Sheetz had a special item on their menu---squirrel tacos.
