Great thread. Have you ever thought about releasing some feral cats on the property?Two of our neighbors have gotten outdoor cats in the past couple of years and it seems like the squirrel population in our woods has decreased dramatically or at least they do not roam as freely on the ground in the leaves anymore. I've watched other wild cats roam through the woods while bowhunting and I think this has got to have something to do with it. Three years ago, the woods were deafening with squirrels rustling through the leaves. Last year, nada. And I didn't see many early-season this year.
