I sit with the CO2 power pellet gun where no one can see me and target practice.

Red squirrels are the worst. When I was a kid, we had one that kept chewing through window screens to get in our house. It usually went out a different window than it came in. It would knock stuff over all through the house and when you came home after it had been in the house it looked like though we had been robbed or something. It ruined nine screens before Dad beat it to death with a tennis racket after he cornered it in a bathroom where the window wasn't open. After that we shot every red squirrel that we saw come in our yard.

LOL! We just had a red squirrel move in, I am going to set up the extra tall 5 gallon bucket how you suggested with the sunflower seed. Last time we had a red squirrel it chewed up the wiring in the skid steer. Then we had a couple of chipmunks and they did the same. My cat finally caught them before they tore up the place.
