The squirrels are setting off my trail cameras every moment. I put a small piece of plywood somewhat in front of the camera so the squirrels do not trigger a picture. Not working. Anybody doing anything stop the madness

Sounds like you need to go squirrel hunting. A .22 rimfire to the noggin will do them in. I drizzle a little honey over mine just before they are done in the skillet. Makes for a good supper with some potatoes and gravy.

I’ve been thinking about trying out a blow gun on some to pass the time in the tree and get rid of a few in town. Tim Wells looks like he has a good system

They are fantastic in a crock pot. Even old squirrels will be tender when they come out of the crock pot. A good pellet rifle will kill them and is quiet. I have used a pellet rifle to kill squirrels while bow hunting from a ground blind. Have had deer walk right by the dead squirrels. I know you are not supposed to have a gun while bow hunting but I am on my own property and squirrels were too abundant.

You compound guys are missing out….
Flu-flu and a rubber blunt; sheet of Ply behind the bird-feeder tray so you have an anvil for that hammer.

Corax-Latrans I have used flu flu on 11/32 Port Orford shafts to kill lots of squirrels and pigeons. I tipped the shafts with a .38 cal shell. They fit right on the shafts perfectly.
