Default squirrels eating trees?

Seemes to me you need to get a falconers license and take up hawk
raising and flying as a hobbie very fun way to hunt pest rodents :-)


That does sound like fun, but also more time-consuming than I can handle
right now. I've seen a couple of hawks cruising above the neighborhood, but
I've never seen them nab a squirrel. Maybe lounging cats are an easier kill.

Speaking of cats, there used to be a lot more cats around. Our next door
neighbor had a pride of feral cats living on the roof of their house, and we
had cats with free reign of the back yard. We took in a couple of 'rescued'
dogs in '94 who didn't get along with cats. Then the neighbors sold out and
left. I think that's when the problems began. The dogs are quite worthless
as squirrel intimidators.
