With a golf course next door and a small river a block away we get a few squirrels the come out in our parking lot looking for food, and a bunch of different birds. That's about it.

A golf course?:hmmm: Surely you must've seen a gopher or two. Maybe one that sounds like "Flipper"?:D

Nah. There's a path that goes around the course and part way through it, but I don't play myself so I don't see much of it.

Oh dear...wasn't aware of that :doh:

No worries. I'll fix their little wagon. Squirrel proof feeders. :D

This is what I'm talking about. Persistent little bugger. Looks like Circus de Soleil in my backyard for crying out loud. :wah: Time for that squirrel proof feeder.

I get that with pigeons, they chase off the Wood Pigeons and Collar Doves so I reciprocate whenever I see them.

Get one Spiced Rum's bears. That might work.

Squirrel Proof feeders never have worked for me. The squirrels knocked it down and broke it open. We just quit putting out feeders. :timeout:

I think they can be combated with some success. Short of a .22 rifle that is.

Then this is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I love living by the river, surrounded by 1000's of acres. Bear and I don't walk by the river as much in the summer, ticks, numerous snakes, etc, but I love walking it during late fall through spring. I do take Bear canoeing, he seems to enjoy it.

I've seen about every critter known, deer to bears and we even chased a bigfoot.

I've tried about everything to keep squirrels out of my feeders and deer out of my garden, but can't do it.

LOL :)

I'd have thought the best way would be to have a dog.

You live next to a river?

Got Beaver problems? :hmmm: Those are more annoying than squirrels.

No...not the best way. :O: Everybody has dogs around here and the local cats do more killing than the dogs.

Our poodle will chase them off. But, the attraction of a fat feeder of seed has the squirrel returning in a few minutes. I need that hawk to start making a daily snack of squirrel.

Bear will chase them for hours. The squirrels are pretty smart, they tire Bear out, he comes inside and they go for the feeders.

We've been lucky when it comes to feeders. The piece of tin sheeting we nailed around the post seems to have so far frustrated the squirrels unceasing efforts to get to the seed.

Now I may have to build one of those!
:haha:

Pick up a cheap Air Soft Rifle. It won't kill the nutters and you'll have a blast BBQ'ing and puttin' the hurtin' on em!
:)

And the YouTube hits you could get with funny squirrel vids?

But you already have the .22 SMG :03:

That's more than enough and plenty fun... :D

:har: That is the funniest thing I've seen in ages! What, an imaginative way to control pesky squirrels.:haha:

Then again, you might just want to pick up one of these:

I had the same problem with squirrels, destroying every bird feeder, squirrel-proof poles, feeder-domes, etc..
Then I picked up one of these babies and watched those squirrels go nuts because they couldn't destroy it (all metal cage and hanger) and they couldn't fit their heads into the openings to get at the seed. They eventually, all stopped trying. Mine had a 2mm wire cable as a hanger.:up:

An armour plated feeder :yeah:
