elaborate joke, I commend you.

scott carpenter Sort of like when conman Vivek Wadhwa did a phone survey about foreign founders in Silicon Valley and then called it a “study”.

i can confirm

Almost sounds like the start of an incoherent Biden rambling but the punchline makes sense .

This is false information for almost every State. If you're within city limits you can't hunt squirrels. Trust me I've looked it up extensively. I have an apple tree they raze every year despite my extreme efforts to deter them. Unless you're willing to pay a licensed exterminator of course...

Right on brotha! 💯

Technically false, you can eliminate nuisance species out of season without limit if they are damaging your property after obtaining a permit from the local wildlife authorities. Without said permit, killing things out of season, even on your own property, is illegal and will result in fines or penalties.

Also, if you think you "own" your property then don't pay your property taxes and see how fast it's taken away. Nobody owns squat in this country. You just rent it yearly from the government. Same with your car. Don't pay registration and you can't drive it. You merely rent the right to use it from the government.

@@brandondowning6243 no wrong again, there is nothing illegal about killing squirrels on your property! No permit needed for squirrels!

YES a new homestead tour!!! I am fairly new to the channel and want to see what it all looks like now.

If he had such a hate, maybe he should not have moved into their home.

I also just watched this video (5 years later) and tried. I had a squirrel get caught but not killed; it dragged the trap off but it wasn't too far away. I don't like the idea of not killing them instantly, but I'm not sure what else to do.

These traps have taught me that squirrels (tree rats) don't swim well at all...

They should probably require passing an intelligence test before people in the krracker states are allowed to purchase a wildlife trap.

It'll work for those too. :)

Put some antifreeze in that buckett they love that more than seeds.

We killed 39 chipmunks in one week with the method you describe. We were overrun with those damaging little critters (obviously if we caught 39 in 1 week!). The bucket/water/sunflower seeds definitely works! I would think for squirrels you would need a much taller bucket. Couldn't they just stand up to breathe in a 5 gal bucket?

You could use peanut butter just as easily. If you want to trap a lot of squirrels, the type of trap is the most important consideration. I've disposed of 350 squirrels since June 2014 from my backyard but most of them were caught when I switched to a new type of trap 3 years ago. The best solution to a squirrel problem is the Havahart #1083 "Easy Set One-Door Cage Trap for Squirrels and Small Rabbits" I used to use the old fashioned Havahart 1030 traps but I have upgraded to the 1083 and now have 3 of them. It also only has 1 door which makes it much shorter and I thus need a much smaller tropical fish tank to drown them in. You have to order them online, since the big box stores don't stock them for some crazy reason. This is the most humane way I have found to dispose of grey squirrels and I try and keep the water reasonably clean. The smaller tank uses less water. But most importantly 1-door traps are not only MUCH easier to set but they are also much easier to bait because the squirrel can only enter from 1 direction so the bait only needs to be behind the walk-on platform. You don’t have to “balance” the mechanism the bait sits on, thus the 1083 is also a much faster trap to bait. (My bird feeders and vegetable garden are both in the back yard and they attract grey squirrels, so I place my traps in close proximity to them. We have an Oak tree in the front yard but I don't have any traps in the front yard except in the fall.) The other great thing about this trap is that I never have any "set off" by birds. Every time this trap closes, there is a squirrel inside. The 1030 trap was frequently catching small birds, which was a huge waste of time. You will never catch a squirrel, if the trap is closed all day with a bird inside. Use cheap peanut butter for bait. And lure them into the trap with a few shelled peanuts. I then consistently take the carcass to the exact same place in a nearby woods for predators to find. I like to think this causes predators/scavengers to hunt rabbits and other small game much less frequently. I've recently discovered that possums will scavenge grey squirrels if you leave them in the same spot. I like possums, so this is a win-win for me. At night, I place mouse traps inside the closed 1083 so that only mice can get into them. (this keeps small birds out of the traps) I was surprised to discover a mouse infestation, that I was completely unaware of. The first 8 days I did this, I caught 14 mice behind our garage. email me or call with questions. devilsadvacat at gmail WRZ 2020-04-20

@luv 2m8 Does your shrink know you are off your meds again, dipshit ?

If you cant keep a squirrel out of your damn house you shouldnt own one.

@@daddywolf1364 A friend of mine had a bungalow by the river Usk in the UK, he went on holiday for two weeks. He had a store of dog biscuits for when a relative visited with their dog. Whilst on holiday a squirrel found it's way into the house down the chimney but couldn't find it's way out. The damage and mess caused by the squirrel was beyond what someone would think possible. All the dog biscuits were gone when he got back. The squirrel shot out of the house when he opened the front door!!! A mesh guard had to be fitted to the chimney pot.

Little bastards could easily cause a family living on what they grow starve. They are pests.

Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living Is there anything that you can spray on your tomatoes to keep them away? Maybe Google has an answer.

Eww. Eww eww eww. I will not spray anything on my tomatos but water. If the squirrels don't want them, nor do I.

I used a Tomahawk trap model 103 or 102XL and I caught 14 that were in my woods, and trying to get into my attic. I drowned them while still inside the trap into a large container of water. Then the foxes eat them at night

Give them nuts and they stay away from your tomatoes.

These are legal in California, if they are used to trap destructive (crops, buildings, maybe landscape) squirrels. Pretty sure that they are illegal for hunting them. Catching skunks is nasty.

What's funny about your statement is the fact that the police state works because people have become totally ignorant of the difference between illegal & unlawful. Learn about Common Law and take back your rights, tell the would be tyrants to get lost and live free again.

Milosz Ostrow some goes for guns as well. They’re coming for them. Just sayn

I use a red Ryder to keep them from my bird feeders. I aim for the butt, but the other day accidentally got one on the eye and it jumped back started spinning and laid down by the tree. I went outside to check on it and it was totally disoriented and had blood gushing from eye and died. Everyone I’ve read talking said it impossible to kill one with a red Ryder. Unless you can get an eye shot they probably right. Squirrels do nothing but cause damage.

@@joew4202 Amen. Rats with fury tails. Took control. Now have the high powered pellet gun with scope. Lost track of how many I have downed. The problem? For every one you vanquish two more appear.

I hear you.

T Hyslop I need a pellet gun. I’ve never seen a .22 pellet gun. What kind do you have?

@@leesire I believe it says Gammo 950 on the barrel. I bought it cheap and used at a local gun store with scope. From 20 yards I cannnot miss. Tagged one at 35 yards the other day. I am lusting for a really nice gun. The problem is I just do not have enough time to check all the specifics. Thera are hundreds here posting videos on different types of equipment, which further frustrates and confuses me let alone the time spent in research. Do not have the time to fine tune exactly what I want. Wish I did. Though l could buy a nice gun invariably I find, like with electric tools after using them there is a feature I wish it had or something I do not like about it. In that regard, I hate being the GUINEA PIG on equipment. For Instance in my work I use equipment from three different manufacturers, from Europe, USA and Korea and each one has features or unique weaknesses I do not like. Each time after outlaying lots of capital and only when it is in the field do I discover these limitations. Why cannot one machine have all the right features? Have talked repeatedly to the manufacturers and you get no where. So, in buying the gun cheap it lowers my expectations. Talked to the Korean guys and they barely speak English. You get nowhere.

I guestimate half of them died of heart attack soon after this video was released. LOL

Norman Pence ; I call'em PETAphile vegetable-murderers!!

What about normal people who think killing 40 squirrels to protect a single tomato plant is disgusting? ..or are you one of those monkey-brained yokels who think nobody cares about animals except PETA?

So you’re in to killing things for fun ? There are too many really sick people on the planet, like you. Karma

RU-vid doesn't let people post videos of animals being killed. Even the Mousetrap Monday guy, can't show you mice being killed.

@@ccdogpark depends

@@ccdogpark Ever see the Mink Man in action ? His videos show his minks & dogs killing 100s of rats...!!! Not that rats are actually animals though so I'm not sure that counts

@@michaelcalland801 Rats not a animal? The stupidest thing Ive heard in awhile!

@@michaelcalland801 do you know for a fact that those videos are monetized? That's the issue, Shawn Woods (mouse trap guy) has talked about it. they're not generally removing them, just demonetizing them. If you're uploading for shits and giggles, wanna show off your cool dogs or whatever, that's one thing. But if you want to be a content creator that makes income from youtube, that's a no go.

those vids are all over YTube....'conibear trap'

Rotfflmfao

We used to just cut the squirrel up into 4 pieces, after cleaning of course and cold pack before putting in the pressure cooker.. In 6 months most of the bones separate and fall to the bottom. The meat is also tenderized

Hey back in the day, Brunswick Stew used primarily squirrels and rabbits for donor meat stock.

😂

Dean Logan lmao fr

Wouldn't you think the one with the most sensitive setting would work best, Einstein.

@@kennyc388 No need to be mean. You are wrong most sensitive setting is the WEAKEST snap.

The 3 notches on the dog are for sensitivity. These traps were originally designed for muskrats and calm water like lakes requires less pressure to fire than a trap in a swiftly flowing stream

Well, with the price of meat going to $30.00 a lb, people might just need those pesky squirrels and chipmunks for a food source. There is a swamp rat called a nutrient, that many folks consider a delicacy. It looks more like a Beaver without the flat tail. But if the big $ set up is coming as the preppers predict, I'd rather eat squirrel or chipmunk stew then destroy my body living for long term on freeze dried food that is loaded with assorted chemicals and tons of salt to get them eatable. And I'd take squirrel over potato soup any day.

Joseph Fairlane I've had this recommended to me from people at local hardware/garden stores so who knows! Also there's a reason coyote season is year round (at least in Cali) so I'm guessing squirrel would be similar?

City to Farm Every place is different.

I have found peanut butter very effective rodent bait, no joke, it just works.

@@johndoe4783 I've killed a few with them already and if not...I hope I injured them and they die later

Yea like pink elephants that walk in peoples yards at midnight. What kind of protected species are in your yard?

Try putting a sheet of metal around your trees, you'll never get them all cleared out.

Scott Schubbe - squirrel is a "Good" meal

Alexandria Agopian "they only eat what i give them" so if you gave them more they would eat more. Also I have NEVER IN MY LIFE KILLED A SQUIRREL. The squirrels in my back yard eat the pecans on my tree, the peaches on my peach tree (which btw i have never ONCE got a peach from because they eat them before they're ripe) torment my dogs, snap twigs off my trees gnaw on my roof and drop pecans on my head (which they also eat before they're ready) i have tried everything to keep them from doing all of that yet time and time again they do it. I'd rather not kill them but at this point it's more economical to do so. They're greedy hoarding treerats that eat whatever doesn't eat them first.

You are a moron. Squirrels are not rats.

unless you're an idiot you shouldnt have to be told how much trouble a single squirrel can cause....they will get up inside a vehicle and chew the wires and cause massive problems.... potentially deadly ones inside a house....if they ever decide to unite it will be a Squirrelpocalypse. and yes they are rats. they're in the rodent family, they have many things in common.....the grey squirrel native to the US has taken over England and are driving the native red into possible extinction. they're aggressive furry locusts.

Did you roast em?

Never had dogs would touch squirrel, even if I skun em first. Had to starve em for they'd eatm. Weird. I quit killing m cuzza that.

kelhawk1 what language are you speaking lol

mark haney at first I was like "wtf for chickens" then I had a flashback to when my chickens ate a dead rat, not a mouse, a rat. Then I had another back to when my chickens ate a few live frogs. So I can believe they would eat squirrel meat

chickens are predatory AF!!! and cannibalistic. When we process meat on the farm I am surrounded by hungry cats and dogs waiting for scraps to be thrown their way...and among them are the chickens..... who will bitch slap a pit bull for a piece of liver.

I grew up with a walnut tree, and I loved it. We never had squirrels until,...... one day, there were two, beautiful grey squirrels with fluffy tails. They could jump from tree to tree and surround our property (1/3 acre). We were helpless. And then we got Manx cats , (we always had cats most of the time but would get hit by cars, so had to renew them). And then the squirrels were down. Yes, they ate our nuts while they were still greeen , that had to be bitter, but bet they didn't have any worms.

Susan, I planted a pecan tree 20 year’s ago as well, and all the squirrels in the neighborhood feast on green pecans. Use to chase them off with a water hose until the tree got too tall.

We kill, consume, and destroy everything around us. What does that make us?

I plant nut trees to bring the squirrels in. Nuts are fine, but fried squirrel is way better! 🐿

@@allim7519 human!

Texas allows for trapping/killing squirrels if they are damaging your property.

@@debrakslate9541 Same with Massachusetts. There is no bag limit for pest control. It is however illegal in Massachusetts to catch then release. A trapped squirrel must be humanely killed. In my area we have a serious issue with overpopulation of grey squirrel. They caused $5000 worth of damage to my home. In one season I trapped and destroyed nearly 100 of them.

Most states allow for the removal of animals causing or about to cause damages to people or property 12 months a year.

Then it is not a worthy pet. 😅

Yes, he will run right through it and the trap will snap and will kill him instantly. He won't feel a thing. I've never had a squirrel not killed pretty much instantly with these traps. Very humane and no suffering.

The jaws rotate and are under spring pressure and the wire you see hanging is a trigger. When the squirrel brushes past the trigger. the "jaws" of the trap rotate the opposite way either killing it by broken neck or back, or on larger traps and animals suffocation or drowning (beaver). These are VERY effective traps...especially at instantaneous killing of smaller animals.

it is not humane - you killed them because they were eating a few tomatoes - you are disgusting

is it inhumane to kill rats just because they get into your house

+SwampCritter - you are pathetic, guys like you always have to try to make this about 'survival' there is no need to kill defenceless animals, you have plenty to eat without that. It is too bad the law of natural selection does not apply anymore - you would not have survived until low, you are obviously deranged

Delicious

if you use a drop gravity feeder for deer in off season,and coordinate the feeder during squirrel season with a small conibear at the top of the feeder should give you some peace at least hunting next year. private property of course, warden might really want to meet you otherwise, depends on the states laws,

American-Outdoors.net watch Remington air rifle video. Squirrels you will laugh.

@Tommy Salami small world . her step brother taught ag at the U of A. Me being from Iowa and moving to Arkansas my senior year of high school and lived there for probably another six years before marrying and moving to Utah. I always will be impressed at the humility and kindness and honesty of the Arkansas people having delivering newspapers for 2 years while in college.

You live in a state where many people are having sex with their "kinfolk". I wouldn't worry about wildlife laws in any of the krracker states. If they have any, they wont be enforced

"Flash before my eyes, now it's time to die. Burning in my brain, I can feel the flame."

They learned to lift the spring door right away, so they get the bait and leave. Tried weighting the door, no luck.

So you want to have someone else have your problems.

Slinky becomes a nice little ladder for the tree rats i have round here.

Deep South Homestead BBQ em. Yum.

So what there rodents? Woos

Canadian terminal dive studies with this trap says they are very Humane with average asphyxiation times of less than 2 minutes. The dimensions of the trap are 4.5" x 4.5" and we have found a 3"x4.5" trap causes the strike bar to hit the base of the skull instead of the neck so the squirrels are knocked out before they succumb and the struggle is non existent

xzxfin120965 Where are all the crazy snowflakes? How come a squirrel or rat pole is inhumane but a stripper pole isn't?

on the ground. they're "rat" terriers. and though they may not be aware of it themselves but they dont have wings or the ability to climb trees lol i had a JRT who was amazing at vermin control but squirrels always managed to escape her teeth. ON THE OTHER HAND...... I had a carolina dog that had ten times the brains of every terrier in the world. She figured out how to work with the cats... by watching their every move she knew when they were on the hunt. they would tag team the squirrel.... it would see the cat stalking it in the distance and prepare to run...but before it could get to the safety of its tree there would be a cat waiting for it at the base, so it would run for the next tree - which of course meant the first cat would get it before it could reach safety.... cue the dog. For weeks we couldnt figure out how she was catching them but my husband actually got to witness the spectacle early one morning.

Emily Pollifax I have seen a jrt run straight up a tree and get a squirrel.

I use a Havahart model 1083 EZ set trap and then drop the trap into a slightly bigger tropical fish tank, so that I can keep the water clean without wasting too much. I usually clean the tank after every 10 grey squirrels. Local tropical fish clubs are a good place to find used fish tanks. Yeah if you consistently leave the carcass in the same spot, scavengers will begin to look for them there. It annoys me that people make squirrel trap videos without suggesting a worthwhile use for the carcass. WRZ 2021-04-26 Delaware County, PA

Love your vids

I do! Get a pine board. Preheat oven to 350°. Put squirrel on pine board and put in oven. In 45 minutes, remove from oven. Throw the squirrel away and eat the pine board. It’s the same as my Awesome Possum recipe.
