Squirrels faq / so you know.

Got one off the feeder. Teeth match up. But they all do. Little one.

I'd hate to be a squirrel around MarkT. @MarkT - You delivered that jsb as promised. Nice shooting! It's interesting information (thanks for sharing) that those 4 front teeth don't stop growing, it likely fuels their crazy passion to chew anything appealing on sight. I've had all young trees planted in my yard last year and all those new growing tips got chewed up! Now, I am raising a baby Taipan Veteran in 22 caliber to help aid in my young trees growth.

Only one good squirrel - is a dead squirrel 

I live in deep suburbs and they cause enormous damage - chew wires, damage fruit trees and etc. etc.

For me hunting them down is personal

Last October huge oak branch fell from the top of the tree and crashed 3 top of the line carbon fiber racing kayaks

it's more than $13000 in damage 

Only when branch fell, I realized squirrels had a nest, they chewed big cavity inside of that branch and finally, branch snapped exactly at that point

I know the good lord put them on earth for a reason. (Maybe to sell pcps?) but man they do some damage with those teeth. Hate just killing them but the danger they pose to wiring and structural damage is justification. Good luck with your taipan.

Dang LTU, that is bad really bad. Hate that for you. Ouch. 

This is my motto on squirrels: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/0c277ee3-b291-45df-97cb-de55c84f1dec

I’m thinking about starting a new thread titled “Let’s see the damage” people can post pics of the damage caused by squirrels.
