Glatt, rescued any babby squrls lately?

Attachment 47394

She should be fine.

Awww, baby squirrel. So cute.

Why is that cast three times as long as her leg? Immobilize it?

I think it's immobilized to it's extended length. Maybe?

Story says she suffered a broken ankle.

Not mah squrl:

Popdigr had some trail cams out, and caught some flying squirrels. A few in the act! He said he hadn't seen a flying squirrel since he was a teenager...He's 73.

Good pictures.

He also caught some deer.

But they belong in this other thread.

OMG, I didn't know those evil beasts had an air force. :eek:

The ones in Twil's backyard are too fat to fly. I'd've taken a picture of them, but I don't have a wide angle lens. Positively convex.

Tis the season. One of my salesmen orders a turkey club sandwich every day for lunch. He doesn't eat the fries that come with it.

Saw a black squirrel in Norristown today




...but I'm not racist

Princeton is famous for black squirrels. Illegal Immigrant? Got over the wall??

Yeadon, PA, has them too. Probably jumped ship in Philly and snuck up Cobbs Creek. I think they speak Sicilian. :unsure:

Seen em in DE also as well as my neck of the woods. Perhaps they are migratory.

It's a genetic thing. They spread. Because if a gray and black squirrel mate, the offspring is black. They are easy pickings for predators though, and that keeps their numbers in check.

Incidentally, both gray colored squirrels and black colored squirrels are "gray squirrels" by classification.

Lots of literature on this.

against with the racist

FUCK DA POLICE! BLACK SQUIRREL LIVES MATTER

I live just up the road from Yeadon (West Yorks)!
No black squirrels there that I'm aware of. Just babbits.

(Yes, the occasional black rabbit).

I believe the proper term is African-American squirrel...you racist bastidges.

Are squirrels stealing your fries, Bunky?

Stand up for your lunch, punch those bastids in the incisors.

***NOT SAFE FOR LUNCH WARNING***

Damn, squrl, you is one gruesome sumbitch.

How is worse than any other carnivore? I've seen people sloppier than that, sometimes in the mirror. :lol:

He was all content until he started chowing down on the large intestine. It was pretty full too.

Yes, the pate should be eaten first.

The national heart association would beg to differ. Remember, Ronald is playing the long game. ;)

What? They think hamburgers are healthy?

never mind, I thought the I killed more people than you was the scary clown.

Between this and the diabetes is a form of arthritis, I think I need some sleep.

Here's another pic of ThreeLeg:

Please not to be eatin' m'three-legged squrl.

Squirrel!

Here, Squirrely, Squirrely! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0794fdf8ef.jpg

Come get some yummy treats!

What are you going to do with it once you catch it?

How'd you know we was having fried squirrel brains for lunch Monday? I had a helluva time getting enough squirrels for pickled eyeballs. Eat them with a toothpick.

Run, squrly, run!!

Fucker decided to take up residence in the roof over my porch. I wanted to do him with the blow gun, but i might just injure him with that.

He gon' die.

Aw, man. Why kill him? Ya got a live trap there. Take him to a park or something.

He was born free, he should live, and die, free.

You kill that squrl and I'll report you to a game warden for hunting squrls out of season. You'd be a poacher. A felony perhaps. And a murderer.

Set him loose, somewhere else.

Besides, I'm not sure you can hunt squrls over bait.

Want him to mail it to you?

Do some research on relocation of squirrels

Same as cats, they'll be home before you will.

So wait, are squirrels rare enough there that you have just one on your porch and it's the only one you see on a daily basis? I'd guess I see maybe 50-100 squirrels a day, here*. There are currently 2 chasing each other in my backyard, probably a couple more up in the trees that I can't see.


*also counting dead ones on the road

Well, I'll be damned. Jim done learnt me something today.

I still wouldn't kill the squrl.

What would you do? There's wires in that place he's renovating. He could burn the house down.

Evictions are sad, but we are a nation of laws and everyone, including squirrels, must follow them... except rich people and politicians. :yesnod:

Personally, I would drive him out of the space by tossing a couple ammonia drenched rags up into the spot where he is nesting, and then after I know he's out, I would nail or staple chicken wire or hardware cloth over the opening.

I've got no real problem with killing him though, it's just that I am cheap and don't own a trap, but I have all that other stuff on hand in my junk filled basement.

Remember Jim went through this shit in the old house when they invaded his attic. :eyebrow:

I understand your dilemma exact. The eaves of Gravdigr House are covered in a fine, stout wire screen. I just like squirrels. I don't know why I've taken issue with this situation, I've shot, killed, and eaten my body weight in squirrels over the years. It's kinda strange.

Take him ten miles away, it costs a couple of bucks.

Or kill it. How ya gonna do it?

I'm picturing mayhem at every post office the package stops in.:p:

Yum...

should be served with broccoli florets to taunt the poor bastard in the afterlife....

Hmm... no meat should be served with broccoli, meat should be served broccoli.

... such as your cat

... or have them to relocate one another

But that would be like eating Lassie, or Trigger, or Rin Tin Tin. http://cellar.org/2015/shades.gif

Save him, save him, save him... for lunch. :beer:
