stiggy 6 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 not knowing much about squirrels will there be a herd of them or just the one? Quote Link to post
nod 285 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 this time of year there could be a few, as the young ones have left the dreys by now, this time last year i took 14 squirrels out of some ones loft in a week 4 adults rest kits, so get as many as you can either traps or gun whichever is the safest option.
