Squirrels Wars (and other pests). And oh, Hi Tarhog and everyone

[HOF44]

Mick!! Glad to see you are alive and well! Except for the battle eternal with the squirrels. Your ongoing travails are always interesting to keep up with.

 

[HOF44]

Also you’re not gonna believe this but right after I posted this I hear a banging outside. Go to investigate. A frickin squirrel has decided to build a nest in my gutter spout.

A frickin squirrel has decided to build a nest in my gutter spout.

And fate has it, we find ourselves in the same travail.
If we band together, we can conquer them, in numbers.
Good to see you, too. I think I met you in person at a Tailgate, back in 2008, when techboy kindly shared a ticket with me.
I mean, we didn't get in, on the same ticket, but you know what I mean !

Yes we did meet. Also I’m not sure if you know, but Techboy passed away suddenly and unexpectedly a few years ago. Such a great guy gone waaay to soon.

I had heard this while on ES, but never knew the cause? Great guy. RIP

No I did not know. Thanks for telling me.
I did notice he seemed absent for a while, but I myself would go long periods of absence, so I thought I just missed him.
He was indeed a great guy. His generosity toward me, was reflective of the overall kind of person he was.

 

[Mickalino]

Speaking of his generosity, there was yet another instance he overflowed generously, along with 3 other admirable guys.
In 2008, when I suddenly lost my job, and not being able to find a new one, and barely staying above water :
He, SkinsOrlando, mistertim, and DeanCollins all wired me some cash.
I just wanted to mention that, because if they're out there, I will forever be grateful. You guys are solid

I never heard the cause nor really inquired. I leaned from Dave (Dfitz).

Wow there he is. When I made that statement to you several posts above, I felt like I was throwing a message in a bottle into the ocean. I didn't know where you were or if you would ever see it.
Good to be back. And I have you, to thank for it ! Who knows what would have happened to me without your help. Cheerio !

Speaking of old friends, does anyone know what ever happened to my little buddy Brave Little Toaster Oven ? Or...Honorary Hog. Sorry if that should be in another thread
HOF44 you seem to be in touch with users

What kind of gun would take out this nest of theirs ?

[Mickalino]

Perfect for me, because I have really bad aim so even if I miss the target by a long way, it will still get the job done

Just make sure you aim away from your house because there will be collateral damage. Maybe a out a city block’s worth

Us Wolves provide certain benefits. Squirrels are appetizers for us. I ate 3 just this morning 😉

You can climb trees, when they escape up a tree ?
Bobcats are fast and can climb trees, but even they have difficulty catching squirrels because the squirrels just keep circling around the trunk to hide, or outmaneuvering them on the branches, since they're so agile and know the territory so well.

I hope some of these posts don't get any of us put on a "List"
