Drey poking?

[skyhuck]

I've shot and trapped tens of thousands of squirrels and it's amazing how many males have been castrated!!

 

Thats because they LOVE nuts, I guess if they are really peckish they eat their own or those of a friend

[Paulfreebury]

The parents I assume! There way of keeping the the best males to do there thing. I could castrate a squirrel at 200 yards with my 222 but probably wouldn't recover from it!!

i ran my own widlife management company for 8 years and found the best way to sort grays was with the 12 bore and some heavy cartrages same goes for rookeries. and as for falling kittens. a terrier makes short work of them.: or even 2gunsfiring_v1:

Really?

 

But they if they were in the wild already then surely your not releasing them?

 

I did work with a guy who took one home as a pet once. It was very small and he had to bottle feed it. It would go to the pub on his shoulder and run round stealing peanuts of everybody! Then he would call it and it would jump on his shoulder and go home!!

 

Until it discovered lady squirrels and then he never saw it again!

 

was his name Wayne by any chance?

I felled the top out of a conny once and a grey legged it when it hit the deck, unharmed. My groundy checked and there were 3 or 4 newborn kits spilled out. He was searching for a suitable stick to dispatch them with but before he could find one my lab ate them alive. Glad there were no kids watching that one.

 

Greys need controlling, and I've shot hundreds, but if I know a drey is 'live' I prefer to move the work if I can.

 

It's not good practice from a vermin control point of view, but killing any young just isn't my thing. I've gone well soft in my old age.

I had a spate of the softys when my kids were born! But soon got over it when 4 fox cubs got in a partridge pen and killed 200 poults!! I soon got the red mist back;0)
