Re: Havahart traps.
My Mom, God Bless Her, was a HUGE miniature train enthusiast. For a while there, her back yard looked like Disneyland! (Her husband passed away 2 years ago, so it’s all been dismantled and sold/passed on to others.)
Squirrels were the bane of her existence, as they would steal all the smaller parts of her model ‘Train Towns’ that were set up along the tracks.
She would trap them, spray-paint their tails blue, and drive them 5 miles out of town and release them.
One summer she sprayed and moved 32 of them! OMG!
Of all those blue-tailed squirrels, only ONE was brave enough to venture back into her yard!
She’s much better now. Meds properly adjusted and all that. ;)
Well that’s racist...
That is a nice caliber...
Two versions of a good McManus story—
The first is a somewhat dry read of a chapter,

The second is the same thing transformed into a comedy routine

My sentiments exactly.
You left out snake shot in a pistol, or ultra low tech.......DOG!
I’m amazed I had to scroll that far to see what I was thinking: RABIES.
22 rat shot, problem solved.
My dad used to trap squirrels in a live trap and take them to the city park. He said after a time the park looked a lot like someone kicked an ant pile filled with squirrels.
Except the one he dumped out one day that made a sprint for the road where it was promptly smashed by a car.
This sentence alone is enough to kill me...
Suddenly a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a torn t-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing one leather glove, moving at probably 80mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car.
