Never Ending Supply

Last Sunday we had 11 squirrels in the yard scampering all over the place. I decided to remove a few and set up the "Have A Heart" trap. Within less than 4 hours I made 5 separate trips to the local forest preserve to deposit my catch. Its about 1.5 miles from the house.
I suspect that I am responsible for most of the squirrels in this forest preserve. Some say they find their way back but I don't think so. Too many pockets of desirable habitat and hazards.

Hawks and foxes usually get our squirrels after a while.

Sounds like what's happening at the southern border, "Catch and Release". I say this in jest, of course and I too believe that natures creatures need to be treated with compassion regardless of our considering them a nuisance at times. I live trap mice that get in the house and release them elsewhere so it's good to hear that you have a like-mind.

While I appreciate what you are trying to do I would suggest you check with your state Fish and Game office to be sure it is legal for you to trap and release these animals. It is not legal in all states.

I hope you didn't separate moms from their babies!
