Shot my first squirrel

While trying to deer hunt


Needed a sling shot

My neighbor on the lake shot over 30 red squirrels one winter. I shot 55 then gave up counting from late Sept to early May at camp a few years ago. Didn't take too long before a new crop started to move in. Point is, you have a nice renewal resource to hone your shooting skills.

Careful what you post. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe it is illegal to shoot red squirrels

Not if they are destroying property or you are a trapper, but they are considered a fur bearing animal.

So does that mean you must not let the pelt spoil? That you can't hunt them just for meat?

You have the right to shoot squirrels as long as they invade your property and destroy everything in its path.

As long as one yells out "its coming right for me" before shooting lol

You have the right to shoot squirrels as long as they invade your property and destroy everything in its path. They may be animals, but what a right they have to destroy everything I build. I bear all the expenses for their damages. It's everyone's choice, or get rid of them, or always clean and fix things after these squirrels. I personally chose to get rid of them, but I turned first to professionals. The people at houston.aaacwildliferemoval.com helped me a lot. There were over thirty squirrels in my attic, and I didn't know. They got to the point of eating my wires. I hate them for that!

I think you'd have some explaining to do (and a nice ticket or maybe worse) if a conservation officer decided to ask you about the red squirrels in your pocket as you come out of the woods.

Well I went out to look for raccoons in my yard because they been taking s on my roof and as I started to walk to the backyard I seen 2 squirrels in a tree so I decided to try and shoot them. Well I ranged the tree and it was 33 meters so I shot this one (head shot) and the other took off so I didn’t get to shoot at it. Attachment 41043
