Pesky Squirrels

Yes they are naughty little critters,I definatley need the mesh over my containers....

 

Sorry to hear that John. Never had that happen to me, but I'll keep a look out now I know.

 

They just keep going for my nuts

 

Damned things plague me here! In the first week after I moved they ripped all my Lobelia laxiflora out of the pots. Nothing else that week, just those. Their litany of similar vandalism is endless since then.

 

Never had a problem with them digging up bulbs, but had lots of problems with my nuts and damage to trees, through out the day i would count 6 squirrels and they was eating lots of nuts, so some that to go, Squirrel pie was back on the menu, what was 6 squirrels turned out to be 42 so it saved me lots of money on meat of the pies

 

Are we allowed to cull them, Jiffy?

 

i Can't waste good meat,

 

I'd eat it too, if I'm allowed to catch squirrel.

 

John, you might find this an interesting read:

Squirrel meat flies off supermarket's shelves

 

Hmm, flying squirrels.

There's always some hippy do gooder thats got to moan about things like this isn't there.

Now I don't eat land animals, but even I can see that its far better to eat an introduced free range animal than to rear battery fed animals

 

From 'A Cook on The Wild Side' by HFW:

 

4 legs, eyes, ears and a tail looks like most land animals.

If I was going to eat land animals, it would be squirrels. Think about what they eat, nuts & berries. Gotta be a healthy option.
