I will most likely be up there on the 24th of May. I've got the electrician's aptitude test on the 25th in OKC (too early to drive and be at my best for it). I plan on getting a hotel room. We can visit then.

your furry brothers have already gotten two of the little buggers out of my yard. But they make a heck of a racket when being demised that way. I think I prefer the paint gun idea. that way they can be gotten again and again.

Hey every ones got to eat
One thing I have seen done to cut down squirrels is
Get a bit of 2by 4 (at lest 3 feet long) tie about 10 snares to it along its lenth and lean it up aganst the tree they hang around in
Even with a few of its buddys hanging from the snares the squirrels will still play on it(as they try to jump through the snare loops)
It works but its a nasty way to go

I got home from from Sirgod's cook out and discover that the little vermin has decided after 5 months of leaving it alone that the pecan at the bottom of my 12 inch pecan tree sapling would just hit the spot as a snack. I got home examined my stuff and found a pot with the tree stem and crown broken and discarded, a typical squirrel foraging hole and a missing root system and no pecan . This After I told Sirgod I did not need the ones he offered me from his yard in exhange for some red buds I took up to him. That squirrel is either going to be punted over the house or recieve bb gun shots to the nads from time to time. I'm joining J'inn's "I hate Squirrels" club.  

I also found the parent of the two gorn hatchling finger biters (baby turtles)  I found earlier on in the garden. I suppose a cat dropped the one baby into my tomato planter. But at least I know where they came from.

Squirrels are a pain.  No matter how ingenious you get, they always find a way through whatever you set up to keep them away.  Unfortunately, the only thing I've found that works is a very strong pellet gun, or a .22.  Gorwing up, there was a guy accross the street who got a kick outta traspping them and slowly drowning em in the cage and listening to them scream.  Don't do that.  Please.
A good outdoor cat might do the trick too.

I'm not really going to abuse the squirrel. I was just joking. I'll just make a chicken wire cover for tempting plants so he cannot get in to hurt my pecan, walnut, almond and other nut trees until they are large enough squirrels cannot bother them.

High-brass #7 1/2's do a far better job than a .22, Stormbringer- and have less colateral damage at range if you are in a populated area. Little louder, though.

He'll either move out or become "spotty; the technicolor squirrel".

LOL... paint guns... the thrill of the hunt over and over in a never ending cycle of skill and glory... YES!

Just don't hit the little bugger in the head or you'll be making squirrel brains and eggs for breakfast !

Yeah those things hit pretty hard, but I'll pass on the squirrel brains. There have been recent cases of human Creutzfield-Jakob's encephalopathy disease (mad cow) traced to the consumption of squirrel brains by rural folk in the U.S. Not that I ever would have done it anyway. Unless I was without any other option and nearing death by starvation.

Just don't put yourself in the position of being humiliated by an animal with 100 times less brain mass than you.

My sister recently purchased a house from a boarder patrol agent who rather disliked the holes a single gopher was putting in the back yard. This was a very industrious gopher...in fact if you need any holes dug, this is the gopher to call. But hidden within this gophers mind was all the evil known to mankind. At first the boarder patrol agent tried poison to kill the gopher, but to no avail---apparently poison isn't very appealing to smart gophers. Then he switched to hiding in the bushes with a cross bow to fire at the gopher. This resulted in him somehow shooting himself in the foot with a cross bow.

Unfased the agent, imitating our friend Elmer fudd, whipped out his single barrel 12ga shotgun and proceeded to blast solid slugs into the ground...we know he did this because his wife was more than willing to share the story to other people in order to punish her husband. Suffice to say when my sister moved in the back yard looked like a WWI battle zone, complete with shell holes, poison gas, and one very very pissed off but wounded boarder patrol agent.

Presented with the problem of gopher holes my sister thought the problem through for about 10 seconds, then brought her large male cat, named dofus, outside and several days later the gopher moved away.

So the moral of the story is...sometimes it takes more than one dofus to solve a problem.

Of course...the gopher could be plotting its revenge with an equally complex scheme that will result in its own tragic death a la wyle E Coyote.

Just remember that most Squirrels are too smart to eat from a pile of nuts placed under a dangling piano....and never EVER purchase any squirrel hunting products from the Acme corporation.

I can do that. But I'll probably wait till thanksgiving and get papershells, hazelnuts and brazil nuts and see if I can get them to grow. I'll use your native pecans as a back up. I have yet to e-mail the pistachio farms for raw nuts to try the same thing with.
