The point isn’t to try catching them with it, the point is that if you have an area of ground you want to protect, put a layer of chicken wire over it and then loosely sprinkle dirt on the area and stamp it all down. Before long the wire is invisible, with a thin layer of dirt on top of it, and squerlz, if they try to dig, will get their paws messed up.

Now it’s making perfect sense.With messed up paws they don’t run as fast and that makes em easier to pick off 👍
 
When I let me dogs out to potty Sunday morning one of them found a dead squirrel. It was skinned and it’s internal organs gone. There was a lot of meat left on the bones. Two of my three dogs thought they had hit the Sunday morning breakfast jackpot. Their mean Mommy took it away.

I’m not sure how it died. It wasn’t in the yard at 10:30 Saturday or they would have thought it was a late night snack. 😃

Sounds like you have three hounds that are a bit on the lazy side. 😃 :bounce:

Your dogs found a skinned, gutted squirrel which was thrown into your yard in the wee hours of the morning?

I don’t want to be a party pooper, but I’ve got to wonder whether someone has an issue with your dogs. A squirrel carcass prepped like that is likely to have been laced with rat poison. If I were you I’d make it a priority to inspect your yard every morning for a while in case it happens again.

I must concur with the above. We had someone in our neighborhood recently putting out poisoned cat food for the some other neighbors indoor/outdoor cat.

I’m not fond of squirrels but I love dogs…it wasn’t me 😊
But I would keep your eyes open for anything unusual in your yard.

Kinda figured from that last thread you’d know what that is. Someone close to you (who would probably like to share but is unable) knows them well. He’d make my war with the skwerl s look like child’s play. I,m thinking Rangers or Beret.
Welcome to the war. 😃
 
The LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them all a test. He releases a skwerl into a forest and has each of them try and catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that the skwerl does not exist.
The FBI now goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The skwerl had it coming.
Then the LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten raccoon. The racoon is yelling, “Okay, Okay!!! Im a skwerl, Im a skwerl!”
