Anyone have a good recipe for cooked squirrel?
 

For two weeks I was watching my first tomato grow. Yesterday is was
turning a slight orange... This morning, it is gone... I'm sure it's
the damn squirrel.

I tried plastic snakes and moved them around and put them on the
tomato cage so the appear to move a bit. Tried wolf urine that the
fruit stand claimed works-- did not. I'm ready to take it to the next
level. Maybe I should send drone attacks. I don't care if it takes
out civilian squirrels at the this point. They are all evil little
*******s. I don't go up the trees and take their nuts. Though if I
see one and get close enough, I'd like to kick it in the nuts.

TJ, how did you capture one? How much would you charge to capture all
the ones in a 2 mile radius of my tomato plant? (You can keep any you
catch.)

LOL. That's good. You write so well and I enjoyed it. Thank you. We have
about 14 pecan trees and can expect to have maybe 4 pecans to shell in a
good year. Nothing much a squirrel won't eat including the power wires
inside your walls or attic if they can gain access. IF you have a tomato to
survive downright piracy until it is decent-sized and green, it will ripen
nicely on a window sill. "Stem up" somebody claims; don't know if it
matters but very few squirrels can open windows. Some, but not many. Polly

Yeah, I shoulda picked the one growing though still green. I was
testing the "shake it" wolf urine the fruit stand said worked. I
think red tomato are better to pick, but maybe I'm wrong. Is there
much difference between letting the tomato ripen on the vine or
bringing inside-- after fighting off the squirrels for it-- and
letting it ripen on the counter? I know at the end of the season my
dad would bring a bunch in and they were green and he'd let them ripen
in the house. Seemed to be still good that way.

I like pie. Maybe I will make for relatives, if I ever catch one of
the little buggers.

My sister's redneck ex used to eat squirrel.

In a perfect world, Maybe getting ripe on the vine would be 2% better.
'Having' the tomato is definitely better than the alternative. Our down the
lane neighbors bring us the over-flow of their tomato crop and they
ripen/taste just fine finishing up on the sill.

Thank you. In the future, I will try and pick them before the evil
beady-eyed ones do. (Though I have tried that in previous years, and
they still get them before me. It's like they know when I am about to
pick one.) That sounds better than the alternative: sitting on the
deck all night with a shotgun, a bottle of Jack, Hank Williams Sr on
the radio, and night vision goggles.

We have lots of success with Havahart traps
http://www.havahart.com/store/live-animal-traps

The squirrels come to our bird feeder. We place a bit of peanut butter
in it and the squirrels can't resist it. It does not kill the critter.
Just take the trap with the animal in it a wooded area and release them.

Works every time - good luck.

Yes, that sounds humane. But then the squirrel is in unfamiliar
territory. And in other squirrels territory, and squirrels are very
territorial. Unless it's a badass squirrel it's chances are not good
in a strange new place... I had some get in my roof and had to have a
company trap them and get rid of them. He said they could take them
somewhere and release them but it sounded less humane than euthanizing
them humanely. Apparently once they find a place they consider home,
they will travel miles to get back to it.

That sounds like fun but I think you'll be surprised at who the bandit is.
We have lotsa squirrels here but they pretty much go to bed at dusk; never
ever saw one out after dark. Wild hares, on the other hand, munch any time
they take a notion. Polly
