Post by: pitw on February 24, 2010, 10:01:56 AM

You both think I'm kidding.

I got a problem with one fat-assed squirrel eating 3 to 4 pounds of bird seed from my bird feeder out front, too.
I rattle the door knob and he shoots up the tree, then comes back after a couple minutes.

The other day after a knob rattling I walked upstairs and looked out my daughters window, there he was about 12 feet away from me, on a limb.

I put on my boots got in the car and went to Cabela's...came home with this.

I didn't get any pellets yet Silencer. I thought some came with it, but turned out to be only BB's come with it.

I got one shot off the other day but I either missed, or it didn't have enough punch.
The windows up there are like a foot off the floor, and he went a little bit higher then the window that time, so I'm laying on my back, looking up out the window waving the red dot on him.
Things got all Mel Gibson for a minute. :huh:

Wonder how longs it's gona be before he shoots out the window. :innocentwhistle: :roflmao:


The other day I was eating a bowl of CoCo Puffs and had some crows land in my woods that were close to that size. They were gona before I could get the rifle.  :biggrin:

Well, if you have the .22-250 ammo you wouldn't need that little pistola to pissoffa a squirrel.  I am starting to sound like the Chef.

22-250 would put a hole in the guys house across the street if the squirrel was on the side of the tree. :innocentwhistle:

You look at that picture, you can see that I took some 1/4" pine and made the feeding ledge wider, by removing the ledge rail, putting the 1/4 pine underneath so it extended out past the existing ledge and then putting the rail back on that.

Being such a chinsey feeder there wasnt enough room on the ledge for a toad to set there and eat before. And boy the squirrel just loooooooved the modifications :doh2:

Saw that video. The one where they used a colender bowl and some surgical tubbing. Squirell climbed into bowl for a snack and ended up with a flight. Rather hillarious really.
