No that I have been banned from shooting them AND I have identified the neighbor who called the police on me, I have completed my surveillance of her daily schedule and and routinely go out in the yard to retrieve my squirrell trap while she can see it (the trap is legal).
Since shooting them is against some kind of city law, I make a big display of making a loop out of wire and pretend to strangle/decapitate it with a garrotte. (the truth is I have been faking it with the squirrell skin from my last “atrocity!”)
I make a big show out of making it die slowly, then smile and start up my gas grill and pretend to be cleaning squirrell! (its hamburger I stash under the porch rail!) I then throw meat on the grill and hang a “fresh” squirrell skin up on my porch to dry and go reset my trap and best of all, stock up the birdfeeder!
City life does have moments of fun!
Best of all, I know she will call the police again and what will they find? Me grilling hamburger, no freshly killed squirrells and at worst an old skin from my first offense!
I hope to portray her as a bit on the edge; getting jealous when the squirrells started to leave her yard for mine…….
Things are gettin’ squirrlly around here!
Great new trick my neighbor loves!
I tie fishing line thru the squirrell skin (there are a couple more now) and cast it out on a fishing pole in the yard (when my beloved neighbor is home) and let my dog chase it then I reel him in.
The dog loves it; its good exercise for him and the neighbor has been making herself pretty scarce!
Have discovered a nice back side of a parking lot to shoot the squirrells in. It was a hangout for teenage gangstar waana bes too! Graffitti everywhere; they tried to act up on me until I reached in the car, grabbed the pistol (they hauled ass!) and there is a nice patch of pines where I can put em down. The offices will probably be happy to have the decrease in graffitti on their buildings too!
All in all, I see it as public service….LOL
PS: A 2 liter coke bottle stuffed full of steel wool makes an effective silencer for a 22 pistol although not for many shots.
I will have to try them with breadcrumbs, havent done that yet. And the wild rice sounds good with it too!
Mindanao? Shit, I didn’t realize you were in the middle of it!
Met a phillipna the other day and I was talking about you (discreetly, no names etc) and she got all homesick. Then she offered to come clean my house……
I wonder is she would chase a squirrel skin???…..

U gotta be the only Texican I have ever known to use the word “shite!”
I have issues with that kind of stuff. I am pretty polite, but can be slightly (hehe) aggressive at times.
My psycheval for sniper school stated that I was “obsessive/repulsive!”
Does that mean she wantted me? Or that it was just my charm and good looks!
Been working and roadmarching at night now that the snow is gone.
Remember the squirrell story? Now my neighbor sees me with army ruck etc., roadmarching away at night and I don’t think she realizes I am in the reserves!

Of course not. I think she probably takes you for a cammo wearing nutjob. You should make peace with her by bringing her a casarole and a couple copies of “Pistolero” magazine (I have no idea if Pistolero is even printed anymore).FRM KURT E
It used to try to make a nest in my armpit while I rode my bike. It was a “wild” pet though, I had it for the summer and then it hit a certain age and never came with me on bike rides anymore. It was kinda strange now that I think about it…13 year old kid cruising around on a dirt bike with a squirrel hanging off his back.
As soon as he heard me get my bike out of the garage he’d wait for me to stop in the driveway by his tree, then he’d jump on and climb up my leg. I’d feed him too of course.
If you ever wanna sucker bet someone..whe you see a a squirrel that is old enough to be out on its own and its tail is just barely bushy (it has to be eon the ground too) put your leg up to it and it will climb you. Squirrels that age climb the first tall thing they see after they explore the ground foro a bit when they leave momma squirrel.
