Squirrel Hunting

[Goosesniper]

We all know what he means Goose, leave it alone. FFS.

I'm not sure if he knows what it means. I didnt read that in his text. Just trying to help a fellow member on the regs. Got it. I thought this is what the forum is about. Learning, having conversations, without being ridiculed for a comment. Sure your not a snowflake?

How did I miss this thread and the linguistic gymnastics? Wow... And yes, hunting is a sport. Squirrels are delicious. And you can bait. Just don't be a master at it...

I have a friend who traps squirrel on his property all the time. ...he painted quite a few with florescent paint ( just the tip of the tail)
He took them more than 10 kms from where they were trapped ...he has had 3 find their way back to his cottage. ..
Amazing........if your going to trap them and release them...pack a lunch.
Apparently you need to do some serious travel time before you set them free....

MNR says you can't move nuisance wildlife more then a km, but if you need to then taking them upwind so they can't scent their home area and across a river would probably help.

Best way to prevent them from coming back is - eat'em!

A friend of mine is an old, retired trapper. He hates squirrels. He has an aluminum pole apparatus about 20' long that he uses to position a 110 connibear trap on the Bell wire at the back of his property. The squirrels run those Bell lines like hwys in the sky. Over the last 20 yrs he has taken over 1,800 squirrels. He's in his 80's and every time I see him his total is climbing. I just shake my head! But he does keep those tree rats under control and there seems to be no shortage.

Please note: These are city tree rats so he is not reducing any hunting opportunities for us in the woods. He is saving a lot of people a lot of headaches. Only the pest control companies are losing out.

I have never hunted/eaten squirrel. However, after watching Meateater squirrel hunting episode on Netflix I think I need to go out and try it... "chicken fried squirrel" looks delicious

That's a great story.
