Short range feeder defense (squizzers!) and the old man pulls-off the ACE!

Man!, my area of Arkansas has had a squirrel population boom. Visibly can see the feeders drained significantly faster these days. So went on the attack. My 10meter tools preformed admirably in the roll. Got four. three with the CZ / AA 200 T and one mighty satisfying Baikal MP-46m shot. target sights getting a lot harder to use (senior decline).

The population boom is due to people feeding them with their “bird feeders”.
The answer to squirrels without shooting them, (which is fine, especially if you’re looking for a more permanent solution,) is bird seed with chili powder or habanero mixed in. Birds eat it, squirrels and rats do not. I guess birds don’t taste it but mammals do. Regardless, it has worked for me. Just don’t rub your eyes right after filling your feeders!
