last december the farm I go to started to have a grey squirrel problem going into the hen house to nick the hen feed satrted to be a big problem
so I made a feeder filled it with peanuts made a small hide branches and camo net placed 25 yards away from the feeder
apart from the hide have a nice little place next to two trees, just sit with camo gear on
apart from shooting from the hide I shoot them out of the trees.
to date 77 have hit the dust the land owner is well pleased with my efforts
I shoot on a 112 acre farm so plenty room to move around been up there since 2002
just started to take my grandson up the farm he uses my old S410 he has knocked 3 down in the past three weeks

Good work!!!

The below video is a must see ... I revisited this after a couple of yers and was surprised to see a 'verify age' filter from Youtube but whatever ... I love his voice and there a re a few good tips in the narrative which is very engaging.

I'm about to clean out my supply of squirrels. The front yard has around a dozen and a few have gotten very comfy with the house. I saw one under our car as I came in from work today. He, or she, has to go.

one thing you dont need m8 is squirrels in your house they can cause a hell of lot of damage once inside your house and a big problem to try and remove them

looks like my total of grey squirrel for the season will be 77. went out saturday up to the farm with my grandson.
one squirrel ran out the hen house as I was filling up the feeders next to the hen house as they steal the hen feed.
I have not been up to the farm for 5 days due to the weather location and the holidays
one other that ran along the top of the dry stone wall but out of ranger.
did not see another one
