Why kill all the squirrels? In fact, why kill all of any species of wildlife?

Squirrels play an important role in the ecosystem and the wildlife food chain. Of many types of food they eat, they eat fruit bearing plants, trre fruit, and nuts. Because they are normally abundant in the wild and far ranging, their feces containing undigested seeds are dropped throughout the fields and woodlands. Much of the seed then becomes new growth and provides more food for many animals; both the new growth and what the plant bears when it matures.

Many of the nuts -especially white and red acorns, that the squirrels bury, are buried throughout the areas that the squirrels live in. The squirrels do not use all the buried acorns. By spring, many of the unused acorns begin to sprout into new growth of White and Red Oaks throughout the timber and new areas. Whitetail deer not only eat the acorn nut, they also eat much of the new growth. Additionally; I am not a turkey expert but I understand that wild turkeys love acorns.

Squirrels are omnivores; they also eat an abundant of destructive insects e.g., moths, beetles, larvae, etc.

Give me a set of timber that is abundant in new growth, oaks, wild fruit bushes and trees,…….and squirrels, any day

holy crap batman, did you get that out of a book?;)

RE: kill all squirrles
 

Sguirrles don' t bother me either. If i hear a lot of racket, I know it' s a squirrle. If I don' t hear anything at all, I know it' s a deer.

No! Such knowledge was passed to me, and further honed by my awareness that I was obligated to know as much as possible about that which I made use of for my enjoyment so that I would not contribute to its destruction.

What you enjoy today as hunter is not yours to keep and do with as you wish. As it was with those before us, you are only being given the privilege of using it with the obligation of preserving it and, when possible, improving it until it is time for you to pass it on to the next generation.

Don' t drive with your eyes only on the road directly in front of you, there might be a large hole ahead that you could have seen before you hit it.
