A squirrel-shooting contest planned in upstate New York this weekend is drawing criticism from local officials and animal-rights groups, who are making a push to cancel the event.
The 7th annual "Hazzard County Squirrel Slam" is a sell-out, with all 1,000 tickets spoken for, organizers said. The event will raise money for the volunteer Holley Fire Department, the event sponsor.

Camp Gitmo Squirrel is heavily guarded...
yea, but that would be torture for those in the room. Would have to make certain the room is fully secure. If those squirrels escaped, Annie having her gun might not be enough.
All those d@mn squirrels need to DIE! They'll steal your wife, steal your car and kill your dog!
We used to visit Cleveland where my parents lived for a while. We had our standard dachshund - a full 35 pounds. He would chase those big red squirrels up the tree and then turn to leave and the squirrel would come down and start stalking him, then he chase it up there again etc etc. That dog would still be there if we hadn’t rescued him. Same thing happened once with cows.
Carry pine cones (or something similar) and throw it on the other side of the tree.
A perfect silhouette shot when they move to the side of the tree.
Here is a link to a downstater activist protesting (love to throw a couple of squirrels in her hair and see how she reacts!
Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing the oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his little beady eyes. His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, “Banzai!” or maybe, “Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!” as the leap was spectacular and he flew over the windshield and impacted me squarely in the chest.
SO funny!
Personally, I totally hate squirrels. That is because one of them varmits ate through the air bag systems in my mini-van, causing it to get rejected at inspection time. (That and some other issues made it impossibly expensive to repair the 1993 Dodge Caravan.) Do squirrels serve a purpose at all? However, don’t like the idea of just shooting them.
or trick em and send the dog to that side of the tree the squirrel is hide on.
True, if you have a dog. If you don't...
That’s not a squirrel! That’s a Prairie Dog/Gopher. If you’re ‘substituting’ in your recipe, I’d suggest guinea pig. :)
Me and the dog had to come inside. That last squirrel started to pray and the weather turned north as in colder and snowing, and just couldn’t shoot a praying squirrel. I’ve been tricked by a squirrel. AAAggggghhhh! Dang squirrel. Or maybe God said leave my praying squirrels alone. So am inside now. I quit for the day. When the squirrels start to pray, me and the moss have harvested enough for the day, me think.
I remember an Internet hoax of some years ago.
It was based on the idea that rich, decadent people were holding a secret event in a very isolated part of western Australia each year. Only the snootiest of the Illuminati were allowed to attend this sporting event.
Cat herding.
That is, hundreds or even thousands of stray cats were being rounded up, then used to demonstrate the skill of sheepdogs that would herd them in gambling competitions.
It gets worse. The rules were strict that cats could not be reused in competition, so they would be put down and their meat used for bar-be-que.
In any event, the hoaxer was surprised at the lack of outrage, apparently most people taking the hoax at face value. But he was convinced that if just *one* PETA activist sucker could be fooled into traveling to isolated western Australia, it would be worth it.
Sounds like it. That squirrel probably had a nut in its furry paws and was feasting, not praying.
You'll get it next time.
Did they ban the pic of the squirrel with stones?
Paint ‘em orange and call ‘em “skeets”; problem solved.
When I was I Jr. High School the term “squirrel shot” had a totally different meaning.
Ask any telco lineman or repair man about the damage they do to outside plant (aka cable)
