I’ve gotten really good with a Red Ryder BB gun against squirrels on our bird feeder. There’s a lot of calculations that happen on the fly with a Red Ryder. :) It hurts but they survive.

Oh my gosh, this is a funny topic, really. My dad HATES squirrels. His last house, he would sit in his bedroom, window open and aim and fire at them. He lived in the country at the time.

So.. being the daughter who likes to tease, I started giving him squirrel gifts 😂😂. Socks, ties, flags, statues for his garden, salt and pepper shakers... and I’d sign them from Mr. or Mrs. Squirrel.

They aren’t a nuisance here really. What drives me absolutely crazy hahaha.. are the Mourning Doves. They are different than the ones we had in San Diego. These have the most annoying song, ever lol.

I still absolutely think the geese are amazing. Oh and last weekend we drove up to the mountains to deliver a sink top we had rebuilt for this lady. Her house is a log cabin, absolutely beautiful. Lots of antiques, which the bathroom cabinet is. On the way home, we saw a herd of somewhere between 50-75 elk! At first I thought they were like being raised on an elk farm hahahahahha.. then I realized they were wild. Ah, city girl still.

Don’t get me started, hubby uses a 20 gauge on them. You are probably younger and faster.
