Have a .22 and scope. Scope not strictly necessary when the buggers are in the traps😬 But it happened so quickly second time I didn’t get traps out in time.

Hi We have a lovely beech tree in the garden that suffered squirrel damage about 10 years ago and again last year. Climbing around in the canopy I see it is worse than I thought. Lots of areas of striped bark where the wood is starting to soften. I can push fingernails into the bare patches. What to do? If it’s going to loose limbs in years to come I’d rather fell it and replant with something a little more garden sized. I don’t think selective limb removal is an option, more than half are damaged. Chilterns area if that makes a difference
