It don' t do no good! I' ve killed piles of the blasted li' l boogers and they just keep a comin' ! They breed like... like... SQUIRRELS! But that' s okay too, cuz they' re tasty (especially the ones that live in pecan groves) and a really good source of fly tying materials. ;)

So, how many squirrels does it take to equal one deer?

Agreed.

I agree, squirrels can be a pain, but I just take my shotgun with me in the mornings that way I can take my bow to the truck and grab my gun and take out up to 6 of the suckers a day. I only find the smaller, younger ones tasty. Good luck with your hunting.

Took one out yesterday over lunch.

First time I' d ever seen a judo point make a passthru. Quite a large hole!:D

Great little target trainers. I had to squeek a little to get him to stand tall. Put the sight on his shoulder and wham - dead upon impact!;)

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

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.

I love squirrels, I love to watch them, I love to kill them, and I love to eat them. Unfortunately, when I got older (jobs/life/kids), I just never had the time to go after them like I used to. I always bring a couple of judo heads on the stand for such a challenging shot. I have nailed several, but I do recall the day that I was full draw on a fox squirrel, and caught a doe and two fawns watching me out of the corner of my eye :) Live and learn, at least it wasn' t a buck.

RE: kill all squirrles
 
I would like to second c903' s comments and add that once a species is eradicated from a specific habitat, that habitat usually becomes unsuitable for other species.

So the next time you think that you should kill all the squirrels or coyotes or whatever form a certian area you should figure that the deer,elk or other animals will consider that area unsuitable.

One other thing I would like to adress is the statement that we should kill all of anything. This statement even in jest can and eventually will be taken out of context to be used against hunters. You are on a public forum what you say can be held against you. Unless you would like to see your post in the next anti-hunters quarterly a little restraint or at least some common sence should be put into the postings here.

The squirrel rut (???) is in full swing. Those little squirrel bucks are chasing the squirrel does everywhere. It' s making me mad!

I' ve been on a mission to eradicate those &*^^% tree rats for years. [:@] My mission has been around my home where they choose to chew holes in the second story eve and nest in the attic. Sounds like a bunch of soccor players up there when they get to batting around there acorns.

As far as in the field, they don' t bother me to much.

RE: kill all squirrles
 
i got the best squirell story, i shot one w/ my bow at 18 yards, arrow went through it and stuck in the ground and didnt kill it, it sat there for 2 hours running in circles till i got down, i unscrewed the broadhead and pulled the arrow out and the little bastard ran and climed a tree! now how the hell do you put a muzzy 100 grain 3 blade through a squirell and it lives!

You guys crack me up:D

I have been bowhunting for 20 yrs and shooting a squirrel when deer hunting has NEVER even occured to me - not once:)

I guess I am just a wuss - but I don' t invision every animal I see in the woods with my arrow stuck in it[:-]

RE: kill all squirrles
 
I guess I just can' t afford the arrows I would likely ruin shooting at the things.
