To paraphrase Mrs Beeton "First catch your Squirrel"


A friend's old dad catches them like this:

Fill a bird feeder with peanuts and hang it in a convenient tree.
Under it place a dustbin with a foot of water in the bottom.
Tie fishing line to the feeder and lead it indoors through a window.
When squirrel is busy on the feeder, give a sharp jerk on the line.
Ensure squirrel is completely dead before handling it.

For professional use, you can buy a variety of "humane" squirrel traps
from websites. Peanuts are a good bait. Place the whole trap in water
and drown squirrel as above.

Hang for 2-5 days depending on the weather.
Allow about one squirrel per person and use any good stew recipe -
they're excellent.

If you did follow the above advice to drown the squirrel you could be
in deep sh**. it's an illegal way of killing. You have to use a humane
method, such as shooting,


Not sure the dick head would understand!
