I was doing some squirrel intervention with my slingshot yesterday. Have been shooting one of these for 50 years or more, and not bad at all. Anyway, I was shooting these little white marbles, about 9mm, and noticed that they look like a knuckleball or floater serve when in flight. Enough to miss a tree rat at 15 yards. I had the brainstorm that if I twisted the bands it would impart a spin on the marble, stabilizing it like rifling on a gun. I gave it 2 twists, but all it did was to make the bands wrap around the fork, and the marble went about unsupervised. No patent for Larry today.  |

We used to put the .177 pellets in the bb gun and BOOM....
The squirrels would look up and say what the hell was that?
It would sometimes knock them off the limb.....

Poor squirrels. How are they supposed to gather their acorns and prep their nests for the winter?
I used to put out corn, peanuts in the shell and peanut butter for them. I had a feeder that held a PB jar and enjoyed watching them eat from it. A couple jars went missing and I always imagined a nest with the jars carefully stowed in the corner.

Hey, I was trying to keep them out of the bird feeders. I had a couple squirrel-proof ones, but the others were being ostracized by those buggers. It was the HUMANE thing to do.

Put a shit ton of cayenne in the bird feeders. Then, when the squirrels get to it, shoot them with a howitzer. I'm assuming you don't have one of these. |

LOLz! I'm animal-berserk, as my husband used to say. So, humanely is the way it's done.
