i have a feeder in the woods and the battery went out. I got busy and bla, bla bla. Squirrels decide to make a new entrance. Now it’s game on and sump’n gonna die.
Lesson learned / will be dealt with

Having had a pet coon as a kid and admiring their intelligence, athleticism and dexterity, I prefer to not molest them. However they are also such gluttons that they sometimes damage my feeders, actually damaging the heavy wire varmint guards around the spin-caster. Then, as you say, it’s game on and sump’n gonna die! Thankfully they're smart enough to cease and desist for some time after they see a buddy murdered while practicing thievery/vandalism; so I don't have to kill them very often.
The frequency of such cycles seems to roughly correspond to racoon population density. Just like lab-rats and humans, heavily concentrated populations create criminality.

@bd we have coons in the area but this was a squirrel (s). Squirrels only eat the sunflower seed and leave behind the hulls. Also the hole is not quite large enough for a coon. I’ll be in the blind early tomorrow and hopefully post some dead destructive bstds. This blind is about 38 yards. I’m going send a JSB into their brains.

Can't believe those squirrels chewed through that thick plastic! Hope you imbed some lead into them soon.

Way to go MarkT! We have those here too and for some reason they chew stuff up more than the big fox squirrel’s do. Keep up the watch your job is closer to complete now.
