Squirrels are like rabbits, they don't eat garbage and actually taste pretty good. If you don't want to do that.just start killing them.when another one shows up, kill it.but you best be eating them. The best suggestion so far is to get a corn feeder for the squirrel and keep it well stocked. Sub-sonic rounds is the way to go.make sure you are shooting from high to low though if you live in a neighborhood.you can get a 22 pretty cheap.or you could use a pump action pellet RIFLE with a scope.a CO2 powered pistol is just mean. Obviously you are in your own yard and shit, but if you are going to get in trouble from anyone, it would probably be them. Not sure what the laws are in California, but just an FYI, squirrel hunting is usually governed by the fish and game commission and you usually need a small game license to hunt them. Besides, its not going to kill him, he'd just end up in a tree or in the neighbor's yard. Yes, I thought about building one of these (the layout of my deck would actually lend itself to this), but I lack the time/ingenuity to pull it off - I think. Or should I just let him live, figure out a way to cover my strawberries and let him feast on the plums that I don't eat too much anyway? I'm not sure why I'm obsessed with shooting the little fucker, but in my mind I'm thinking I'd get some satisfaction from that. A little fucking squirrel keeps jumping onto the deck from a nearby tree and then eating all my fruit.Ĭan I / should I try to kill him with a rat trap? Or maybe some more humane method and then take him a let him loose in the woods a few miles away? Can I kill him with a pellet gun? I don't have one of those either, but I suspect one of my neighbors does. Also, I noticed the other day that there seem to be fewer and fewer plums on the tree. I keep seeing flowers on the strawberry plant, and some fledgling berries, but they disappear before maturity. Also, I've been trying to grow strawberries in a pot on the deck. Beside the deck is a plum tree with plums that are about to be ripe enough to eat. I've been working from my kitchen table lately and looking out the slider window to my deck. I don't own any firearms and even if I did, discharging them in my town would be both frowned upon and dangerous (if I missed, there are houses across the canyon that would be in the line of fire).
