All Squirrels Must Die!

Subject: James Bond squirrel

I started trapping and shooting squirrels last year after they took EVERY peach off of my tree. They just took one bite out of most of them and left them lay on the ground to show off their dirty work.

I shot and trapped several dozen of them. The ones in the live animal trap I shot also. And if you think this isn’t very sporting, try it sometime! They don’t keep still long enough. The one that I refer to as James Bond was real clever. He was in the cage and I had a bead on his head, but just as I pulled the trigger he moved his head away from the cross wire of the cage, causing me to shoot out the junction of two wires, and he jumped through the large hole that resulted and ran away!

I’m sure that he and the other tree rats had a good laugh about that as they sat up in the tree planning more destruction.
