Squirrel is delicious. Make sure you shoot them in the head, JFK style. I prefer a .22 Mag. A Ruger .22 Mag.

I had to kill two in Alaska. They were fighting on our deck at 0300 every day. We kept a pellet gun around to keep moose out of the garden. It didn't take long.

Revenge of the Nerd
Finally saw the little #&%!$ Saturday night. I was talking to my downstairs neighbors on the porch and spied Psycho sitting on the lawn on the other side of the driveway looking fat and happy.

I ran off the porch and threw a moccasin at him, overshot, and he just sat there twitching his tail (squirrel talk for "Missed me!").

I ran closer and threw the other moccasin. This time I scored a hit on his tail, and Psycho took off with me chasing him. He hid under the dwarf Alberta spruce near the tomato patch like he was defending his territory. I had my key lanyard in my hand and snapped the lanyard at him. He ran around front under the cedar trees and I snapped at him again. Caught back up to him at another cedar tree and hit him with the keys. He ran into a patch of ivy and disappeared near the base of his tree.

"That oughta keep the little b@st@rd loose," I told my neighbors.

Next day there were partially eaten tomatoes lying under the planters. I guess all I did was help him to work up an appetite!

I have an air gun, but there is a local ordinance against shooting them in the township. I'm trying to figure out whether a jury would consider Psycho the kleptomaniac Squirrel sufficient grounds for acquittal.

That looks almost like Psycho on the cover, except he's a gray rather than a red. How do squirrels get ahold of Kevlar helmets is what I want to know. Those things cost money. He can't make that much money selling tomatoes!

Last summer I earned the title of "Raccoon Catcher Supreme." I musta caught like 5 adults, one young'un and a 'possum for good measure.

This advice might help you: POP TARTS RULE!!!

You are a sad, sad example of "Backyard Hunter" indeed, Geobeet!!! LOL

Here's an approach that might work on PsychoSquirrel:

"We simply tie peanuts to the end of the string (using slipknot). No hook was used and no squirrel was harmed during this "research."

oh well i guess that leaves geobeet out!!

He's mostly a lurker when he's not ripping tomato vines to shreds. I think he sits up in the tree quietly laughing at me.

LOL Kleetn, do ya think he'd like a snort or two? He's eating my tomatoes and peanut butter, maybe he'd like some fine scotch to wash it all down.

Heh Heh, get the little blighter drunk and then pounce!

dude, that's a really personal question, mr. Squirrel!

OK, I've resisted posting this suggestion until now, but here's what I think:

Since the squirrel seems to be inexorably drawn to the tomatoes, get some strychnine and inject it into one of the tomatoes. Mark said poison tomato so you don't chow down on it yourself. Leave it on the ground next to the tomato plant. It'll be the first one he goes for.

No, everything I've checked says squirrels won't take poison. I even put a little dish of anti-freeze out, but he never touched it.

Geobeet -

I suggest you work to improve your pathetic squirrel killin' skills here before you try another frontal assault. (Of course the resulting carpal tunnel may just make matters worse.)
