Did someone mention in this group about hanging dead squirrels in trees to
put off other squirrels?

About 30 seconds after I posted this, I found the 'Gallows' thread!

(:-(

But does anyone have any experience of scaring squirrels off by hanging
carcusses in trees?

Yes, you did.
My great grandfather was a gamekeeper and it was important that he showed
his employer he was doing his job by killing everything that was a threat to
the game birds by putting them up on a gibbet,
He was a man of few words.

I remember visiting aged 11, (on my own) and he gave me ginger wine. I
told him I'd made some spills to light his fire with.

I inherited his taxidermy glass cases raptors and owls, stoats, weasels
etc. I gave them to Leics Museum.
AFAIK they are still there.

Hang 'em by the nuts - that'll scare them off!

One problem with that is that the females don't seem to have many nuts!

But I prefer to kill the females, as every one you kill means about 10,000
less squirrels!
