Default Squirrels & nets

I've recently put netting from deck to fence to catch the leaves of my
girdled maple. What a PITA.

The other day two squirrels decided to go at it on who was passing on the
deck rail and who would have to jump down to the deck. King of the Rail
pursued and had me worried one would fall on the net.

Anyone had to deal with a squirrel in a net? Unfortunately, as leaves have
collected the nets not as taut as they first looked w/o leaves. So I
envision a possible disaster if a squirrels lands on them. ~ jan

Hi Jan,

Never had a squirrel in one, but I have extracted gopher snakes on three
separate occasions.
