Here's something that might work (not sure as I haven't tried it, but seeing most rodents like these types of things)...perhaps some Rat poison...such as the stuff that looks and perhaps tastes greasy and chocolaty (actually I wouldn't know as I haven't eaten the stuff) to kill the squirrel off?

It probably would but I don't really want to kill it, just keep it away from my young saplings. I could probably do that by providing food somewhere else or by negative reinforcement or a combination. Killing it is a last resort for me.

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
