yip plenty of grey squirrels and they are good to hunt with a shotgun as well,(harder with a air rifle as you need a head shot) nothing but rats that can climb trees good. Kill them ALL

I....blimey lol

+1 to that! I think they were called 'rats with good PR' in one TV show.

Classed as vermin as thats what they are. Want them out your garden you need to kill them, catching and releasing elsewhere could end you up in bother as its illegal.

I used to go rough shooting and squirrels were my favourite target, they fell out of the trees like Japanese snipers in a cheap war movie

sounds about right...
we were threatened by a phone call to the police when we tried that. damn preservationists... Squirrels aren't endangered!! thank god for coyotes and foxen that actively hunt the squirrel population here!!

we also have raccoons here which are big enough to tip over anything smaller than a car. they've also massacred my koi pond a few years back.

illegal to catch and release, but not to kill? that's all sorts of weird...

[Simon Bolivar]

do you even have squirrels there?

i remember when my mate's Irish relatives were over, they were just taking pictures of Black and Grey squirrels like it was a zoo. i mean, we have a family of black squirrels live in our bloody garage!!

We only have Red & Grey. The Red were natives, we can blame our colonial cousins for sending us the grays, not popular & carry disease which the reds have no or little resistance too & then driving them out. You stand a better chance of seeing the red in Belgium, for reasons I have never figured out, I have seen then there in many places there but in Britain they are only found in isolated pockets eg Brownsea Island.

The release part is what is illegal you can catch them all you want just need to kill them humanly after. This only applies to grey squirrels btw red ones are rare and endangered due to the virus the grays carry

It's very sad, the reds didn't stand a chance against the larger greys and are all but gone from our shores. The number of invasive species we have is a problem, parakeets are a problem in London, mink in the new Forrest etc etc. Those mink were released from a fur farm by animal rights nut jobs and have devastated the wild predictors in the area. The act of releasing them caused more problems to native wiildlife than if there was a cull. Idiots thought they were standing up for these Mink but what they did through arrogance was far more destructive than any mink farm. If it's ok to farm pigs and sheep then why not mink? They probably went to the mink farm wearing leather shoes. Narrow minded fools. It brings the Veal industry to mind but that's another rant. Needless to say I'm a big fan of veal which is a by product of the dairy industry anyway. I rambling sorry.

You missed of signal crayfish as well mate. However the bonus to removing both crayfish and squirrels is a tasty meal.

God your right there pal, I keep meaning to get a trap for them. I live 15m from the river.

From what I've experienced I think that is only partially true. For larger sticks it may be the case but for the smaller ones that typically burn hotter anyway I'm sure the manufacturers try to account for the hotter temperature. Little Cohiba Club Cigarillo's are pretty tasteless to me if I try and smoke them slowly and keep them cool. They need to be heated up to get the flavour out of them. Anybody else noticed stuff tasting better at different temperatures?

The Demi Tassi size cigars still need a little respect IMO, though from memory the Hoyo didn't mind a little faster drawing compared to the others.

Good eating though!

Agreed, if only for the fact they are systematically destroying the native red's.

is there anything cute and furry you don't eat?
