trappa 517 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Greys are very adaptable and will thrive in both rural and urban environments. I take it from your post you are after the rural squirrels for shooting with an airrifle?! They are in most woods, favouring broadleaf trees such as oak, beech and their favourite hazel. try baiting up an open space for a few days somewhere you can get a decent and safe shot in, . I use monkey nuts or indian corn to tempt them into the open or to traps. Walking around woods you will be able to see signs of squirrel once you know what you are looking for. Its a great time now to start shooting them They are collecting the plentiful acorns etc for the winter and you shouldnt come across any pregnant or young at this time. If youve got a shottie drey poking is great fun. 1 man pokes the drey with a long pole , the other shoots as they come out. Mega fun if your careful.
