F'ing Squirrels...
 

Changed oil in jeep last Friday. Did not drive it on Saturday. One Sunday went to drive it and was running like ass and check engine light flashing which is a sign of cylinder misfire.

Open hood and a ****ing squirrel had built a nest. Almost completely filled with leaves and sticks.

Bastard chewed through the electrical connector to one of the fuel injectors.

All squirrels need to die.

The end.

Freaking tree rats.:#

I had to give up growing tomatoes because those bastards rob me blind.

Wow. That's ****ed up.

Oh they're bastards. I agree.

I grew sunflower plants in my backyard, bastards ****in ate a majority of them seeds.

Antifreeze? :D

Seriously though, get yourself a hunting dog. They'll leave you alone.

I thought this was funny:

Speaking of squirrels, how the hell are there so many squirrels yet in my 54 years of life I have never seen two squirrels screwing each other? :hmmm:

They must be shy little sex machines! ROFL

Where's Eddie? He usually eats those Damn things

I knew exactly what this thread was about before I ever opened it.

You got lucky it was just that

ROFL

One of my friends ran one over while we were taking a drive about 15 years ago if it makes all you squirrel victims feel better. lol

A squirrel missed a branch outside my house a couple of years back and fell onto the concrete. He was unconscious and a house guest told me distraughtly. I wasn't sure what to do, so I made a little stretcher out of a paint roller pan and towel, and moved him from the front yard to the back yard, where at least he wouldn't be vulnerable to cats and dogs and bikes. I wasn't sure what I'd do if he didn't recover, but a couple of hours later than stretcher was empty and the squirrel was very friendly to me after that. I think it's always good to have allies.

I'll bet that if squirrels had been stealing your tomatoes, you would have laughed and fed him a bowl of antifreeze instead.

The correct answer is hit him in the head with a hammer and toss him (in a bag) in the garbage.

Right. We have an old 62 Ford truck. Goddamned raccoon got up there and made a nest. He tore EVERY wire off that damn thing. Battery cables and all.

Like a squirrel on roids.

And don't ever let a packrat get going. **** those ****ers.

Kill squirrels every chance you get. Kill them all.
22 cal pellet rifle works best.

The absolute worst. Those freaking things need to be removed from the planet.

Neither of those solutions would have given me a long-term tree ally.

Rats with bushy tails. When I lived in an apartment, I had a balcony that I would hang Christmas lights on. Every year the ****ers would eat through the lights. I finally got a trap, caught one, and left it in there to thrash around pissing and shitting itself for days. After that, the other assholes got the message.

Yeah I drop them when I see them because the little bastards eat a bunch of apples off my apple trees. One of my Dobermans hates them more than I do and always lets be know when one is running around in the trees. The dog literally a has different tone of bark when it spots a squirrel. I highly recommend these for the task, they make less noise than a pellet gun and drop them like a lead balloon.

We have a field lab. Back yard has zero squirrels or rabbits. Guess I will have to start parking in back yard.

How to reboot a squirrel:

Maybe they go to somebodies house down the road that jerks them off and inseminates the females.:rolleyes:

They must have really tiny hands......:D

I like squirrels. But they chewed the crap out of my plastic landscape lights at my old house.

New House-no squirrels. No trees. Too much construction.

There are a few threads about them.

i have customers that feed those little bastards from their backyards.
then they cant understand why their lines to the house are constantly being chewed on........

Are you also the president of PETA ?

Hating on squirrels always reminds me of the father of one of my (least favorite) ex-GFs. He lived in a house in the woods in Wisconsin, and was a bird lover. Had a couple of feeders, and the squirrels would always eat all the bird seed, which made him progressively angrier and crazier. He'd sit outside with a pellet gun on weekends and shoot squirrels all day long - sometimes he'd get 20 or 30 of them in a day. And of course, being in the woods in Wisconsin, for every squirrel he killed, five more would take it's place.

I dumped his psychotic bitch daughter back in 1990 - I wonder if he's still at it? LMAO

Those things purposefully harass my dog. I've got two in my yard that run up the tree to the second floor window my golden likes to look out. They run along a branch right up to the window and chirp at him. Drives him (and me) insane.

Yeah I think that's why one of Dobermans hates them so much, they will run along the fence, chip and do the tail shake which pisses the dog off to know end. ROFL She has caught two of them and killed them off. I was sitting in here one day and I heard this squealing noise. I looked out and the dog has a squirrel by the tail and was giving it the Doberman death shake.

The dog figures out it doesn't have a kill zone grab, drops the thing, grabs it by the head and chomp/shake. That's one thing about Dobermans, they can cover a lot of ground.......fast.

Any of you guys eat squirrel . I've cooked them over campfire . Yummy. Of course EVERYTHING is yummy over a campfire after you've inhaled a gallon of bourbon.

I think a gallon of bourbon is about what it would take to get me to eat squirrel, and I'd probably die of alcohol poisoning first.

Mine's too old/slow to catch them these days. He'll "tree" one of them for hours, though. Keeps him occupied I guess.

When I want him to take a dump in the morning I just say "squirrel" and he goes flying out the door. LMAO

Yeah, really camping out and drinking heavily isn't always a good idea. When I lived in NC we had a small group of us that would camp out on the Lumbee River and when we were done fishing we'd always challenge each other to eat the remaining bait. Minnows , Liver, ****ing worms. One guy named larry always would step up. I'd do a minnow but the other shit I'd never fall for.

Once

Between my sophomore and Junior year of High School a buddy and I decided to go for about a 6 mile hike in the mountains into a lake to camp and fish. I was so coincident we would catch fish all I brought was shake and bake, a pan and some other spices. (And of Couse, beer) The first day, no fish, the second day by afternoon, no fish, We were starving by that time and I heard some squirrels. I said what the hell found one of them, pulled up my .22 pistol and my rear sight was missing. (A WTF moment) Thank God it was a 9 shooter. :D I hit him on the 7th shot and ended up killing another one. It may be because we were so hungry, and half tuned up but they tasted damn good with the aid of shake and bake.

Fortunately the next day the fish decided to bite, but that was a hell of a lesson at an early age.

Yeah, I think I'll stick to the fish. :Lin:

Joke is on him. They make squirrel proof bird feeders.

I don't know if they made those 27 years ago. But if they did, he didn't have one. :D

You get your ass up here for an ATV ride and 10/1 I can get you to eat one with beer along. :D

Not likely. I may get hungry, but I can live off body fat for a long time.... :)

Heh, Sweet. You probably know this but ,ANYTHING cooked over a campfire is awesome if you do two things. 1) cook it slow and get lots of smoke in and #2) wrap that shit in bacon. Duck, Rabbit and squirrel as well as Dove don't really have a good taste on their own but do those two things and it's a winner.

nothing is squirrel proof. Damn things will find a way no matter what.

My grandma made squirrel and dumplings back in the day. I have a pic of me holding one up when I was about three that they shot and was getting ready to go in the pot

Some of my best childhood memories were squirrel hunting with my dad and grandpa.

That's awesome ! Really ,I have some of those too but with my brother. Dad was a veternarian so never would get into hunting or killing any type of animals, only saving lives. But he never ever discouraged us from hunting. Dads 89 now.

6 minutes in a pressure cooker.
Then egg & flour then fry til crispy. Comes out fall off the bone tender.

First time I made squirrel & dumplings I fast boiled the squirrel. It was like dumplings with little erasers.

I had squirrel as a kid. My dad and uncle and I went hunting a couple of times when we were at my grandmother's for Christmas. The first time, my grandmother cooked them up and they were part of Christmas dinner. The second time, my grandmother must not have wanted to cook them, because my dad threw them in the pigpen and the pigs ate them.

I really didn't fit in that world.

Get after coons and possums too. Gives you a 24 hour animal extermination experience. Dog proof traps with a marshmallow and half a sardine and you are golden to katch-n-kill a possum or coon by morning. Some nights you will sag a grinner before bed and reset. I run 5 right now and every one of the bastards I kill is one less to tear up my shit or eat wild turkey eggs.

Off season hobbies.
