What Did You Do Today?
Tradslinger:
had some huge and I mean huge jalapenos so I got busy making poppers. used cream cheese, slices of onions, marinated venison and wrapped with bacon. My father who loves poppers, showed up five minutes before the first batch was done so he got some hot and ready. We had been thinning out the squirrels at the bird feeder much to our cat's delight. It takes him about three days to eat all of one but he eats it all but the tail and the stomach. He had been whining at me today as he flipped the tail around from the last squirrel a week ago. So, I picked off two English sparrows from the feeder and he was on them in a flash. used a 22 cal PCP air rifle and he knows that good things for him happenes when he hears it go off. also worked on a knife handle for a friend, it will be done in another day or so. Yeah, I ate four of the poppers and am stuffed.

My late wife had a thing about bird feeders, no telling how much bird seed she went through in a month. Of course every other critter in the woods came to eat as well, mostly squirrels and coons.
One day the squirrels decided they needed the stuffing out of our expensive deck furniture for their nests. The WAR was on, I killed over 50 in the next few weeks, I shot 13 out of my dwarf plum tree in one afternoon, up to that point I had never gotten a plum out of it.
After my wife died, the first thing I did was take the bird feeders down. I kill a few marauding squirrels out of my blueberry bushes every year but for the most part I won the squirrel war.
Digital Caveman:
Wow, that's the most aggressive and most successful squirrel war I have heard of yet. Nice job. I wish I had that many squirrel hides :D
Tradslinger:
a friend that had four apple trees but never ever got any apples for the squirrels asked me to thin out a few with my air rifle. He just wanted one apple pie. after almost three months, I had taken out 101 squirrels, he got a bunch of pies. I was using an R10 22 cal. with a Hawk scope. He has never forgotten that either.
Tradslinger:
