[Wayne M.]

Hello, I think I have a squrriel in my garage. I Think I do, so not to take a chance, I want to set up a havahart type trap. What is the best bait to lure with? I was thinking about peanut butter. Thanks in advance!



I know this might not fit topic, sorry!

To lunch. Then you fatten it up for a week on corn. *Then* have it for lunch.

Look at my sig. I live in NEW YORK CITY!



They would arrest the kid and put the animal on a pedestal, besides bb guns are illegal here. It's a shame!



I was thinking about getting my handgun permit just because I can, and they don't like to give them out

 

[champspa]

Well , we forgive you , sometimes a person can't help where they live. Lol.

This is no joke. Kill the sucker fast!! Had a mouse in my garage and it made a nest in a pair of tennis shoes under the work bench. Another nest in the air filter of the wife car. I checked the air filter on my truck and found the under side tore up pretty bad. #@$%!

Ok first do people really eat squirrels? or are you joking ? second get the rodent out they go nuts when they are trapped one chewed the crap out of a lot of my stuff. Can you keep the door open the let him get out? When you dump him if you catch him with the trap take him at least a mile away they are territorial another one will just take over his turf. BB guns and long guns are not illegal. In NYC ,pistols are.

 

[Wayne M.]

Well it looks to be a false alarm. I havent set a trap, and seems like I wont have to. Thanks for the advice.

I did come across this though. YouTube - squirrel Launcher!!!

Hilaroius!



@ mickeyblueyes, Handguns are legal in NYC, You need an act of GOD to get a permit. In fact just recently, the Mayor was just in the papers about lowering the fees but making it not easier to get. I know you can get a rifle or shotgun (long gun?) around here (legally) easier than getting a BB gun.

It doesn't get any better than this!



Tip of the hat, mega thumbs up, you'll shoot yer eye out with that thing.

No wait, that almost happened to a NRA HI Master & 747 pilot with a . 22 and a opussum in his garage, darn richoet almost grounded him.



Back to our regular programing.

YES SIR, Squirrel is T H E finest dining and it gives you character:-laf! It has made me the MAN I am today. Really and seriously. City squirrels, depends on where they live. Garbage fed , NO! Mast fed(wild nuts, fruit, small birds and birds eggs) There is some fine eatin'! You dont have to be a Southerner or a Hillbilly (which I proudly, AM!) to enjoy small game at its finest. I like beef, also, BUT! Prefer ELK, Bison and Antelope. White Tail deer are a close second. I like squirrel better than rabbit! GregH

Greg,



If you was cooking this delicacy, I just might pull up a log to sit on and try it. Gotta be no worse than watching Popeye eat his spinach growing up, look what it did for him!



I see you now on a cable info-mercial, Uncle Greg's Squirrel extract fountain of youth elixar, tonic and hair restorer.

 

[BSeyler]

The problem with eating squirrel is that you will soon be spending your whole fall looking for your nuts. This thread was already headed downhill. :-laf
