Every year I have to spend a few weekends with my pellet rifle plinking the new herd of squirrels seeking new turf / trees. They eat all my fruit, berries, tomatoes, and figs. Not to mention attic damage.
I used to have a great big tomcat that was an ace squirrel hunter. He ignored birds and so on but loved killing, skinning and eating those things. He’d start eating them at the head and just roll that skin back as he went. I’d find the inside-out squirrel hides all over the yard when he found the pickings easy- but when the population was down he’d eat the skin, too.
At a park where I play softball, there’s gray squirrels, black squirrels, fox squirrels and the smaller red squirrels. The little red squirrels are aggressive as all get out, they’re constantly chasing the other ones all over the place.....
