The fox squirrel has nearly enough to make the effort worthwhile and they're a heck of a lot bigger than greys. BTW, if they're feeding on coniferous there'll be a distinct turpentine aspect.Chuck Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656874242638324636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508984726672877916.post-82124889459162999452009-01-08T11:47:00.000-08:002009-01-08T11:47:00.000-08:00I feel some Clampet living coming on...Squirrel pi...I feel some Clampet living coming on...<BR/><BR/>Squirrel pie, squirrel gumbo, squirrel saute, baked squirrel...<BR/><BR/>OH BABY!

I'm all for hunting regulations which protect species' populations, but legislated inaction against invasives?<BR/><BR/>Remember wrist rockets?<BR/><BR/>poach (1)<BR/> "steal game," 1528, "to push, poke," from M.Fr. pocher "to thrust, poke," from O.Fr. pochier "poke out, gouge," from a Gmc. source (cf. M.H.G. puchen "to pound, beat, knock") related to poke (v.). Sense of "trespass for the sake of stealing" is first attested 1611, perhaps via notion of "thrusting" oneself onto another's property.<BR/><BR/>Thrust away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508984726672877916.post-47719373694285118962009-01-07T23:09:00.000-08:002009-01-07T23:09:00.000-08:00Not only are they not hunted, people would bring i...Not only are they not hunted, people would bring injured ones into the emergency clinic all the time and ask us to "save" them. The little buggers are vicious and there was nothing quite like a supposedly "paralyzed" grey squirrel getting loose in the treatment room and attacking everyone's ankles.<BR/><BR/>Once we'd stabilized them (is it fixable? no - kill it. yes - put it in a box) we'd ship them off to wild ARC, the wild animal rehab centre. I heard weird rumours about them neutering squirrels before being released, but I never did find out exactly what their protocol was. Part of me kinda hopes they *were* sterilizing them, but only because I find the idea hilarious.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159468475534132163noreply@blogger.com
