get some peanut butter and a hide, find a branch you know they use and spread peanut butter on it, set out the hide from a good shooting place and leave it for a few days and keep feeding them, then sneakin into the hide and wait.

 

personally never tried this but sounds like a plan, failing that get yourself a .410 or 20 bore and shoot them as they run from you, this is how i shoot my squirrels....great fun!.

You could also consider a trapping program. More than one way to skin a squirrel.

didnt i post something like this? yeah go for trapping if there really scared of you, or just hide shoot them. i've got another one of buggers in my garden now but i don't want to risk injuring one as allmy tree are covered in ivy andthey justn hide under that. i know where they are because i see the ivy move but i can't see the head

try using a squirrel call they work well especially in the spring

or take someone with you so you can have someone either

side of the trees ,four eyes better than two

put some squirrel poles out and snare them

[Guest hyperion]

sit down at the base of a tree and wait! simple as!

either that or stake out the feeders!

I'm in your neck of the woods (so to speak) if you want a hand with them?

thanks, the ones in my garden are easy enough to shoot but with these i think ill hide up by the pheasant bins and set some traps.

 

thanks

i just try to sneak through the wood watchin my footing so as not to make any noise. i actually find it easier when there are leaves on the trees and when they are feeding because you can home in on them dropping nuts and they dont care about anything else.

A good spring trapping programme with a few fens and you will soon sort out a few rats etc as well

i've found that smearing peanut butter on a tree helps.
