Can anyone suggest a readily available suitable bait to assist in trapping grey squirrels ? During the winter and until the end of last month I was trapping them beside my pheasant feeders. I had great results using a No4 Fenn trap sited in a tunnel.The success rate has tailed off of late.I appreciate that without a readily available source of food the little buggers will wander in search of a food source around a bit more. However any suggestions are very welcome. | ||

Our grey squirrels in northeast Alabama will tear a birdfeeder apart to get to the sunflower seeds inside. They prefer, as do the birds, the smaller black oil sunflower seeds. When I am around they make excellent targets for my old Remington 511. | |||

Where I live, I kill one and fifty comes to his funeral  Ole Miss is right on target; Sunflower seeds. Put out a few Peanuts (in the shell) to add to the mayhem. They will become extinct in your immediate area in short order  LDKGray Ghost Hunting Safaris http://grayghostsafaris.com Phone: 615-860-4333 Email: hunts@grayghostsafaris.com NRA Benefactor DSC Professional Member SCI Member RMEF Life Member NWTF Guardian Life Sponsor NAHC Life Member Rowland Ward - SCI Scorer Took the wife the Eastern Cape for her first hunt: http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6881000262 Hunting in the Stormberg, Winterberg and Hankey Mountains of the Eastern Cape 2018 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4801073142 Hunting the Eastern Cape, RSA May 22nd - June 15th 2007 http://forums.accuratereloadin...=810104007#810104007 16 Days in Zimbabwe: Leopard, plains game, fowl and more: http://forums.accuratereloadin...=212108409#212108409 Natal: Rhino, Croc, Nyala, Bushbuck and more http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6341092311 Recent hunt in the Eastern Cape, August 2010: Pics added http://forums.accuratereloadin...261039941#9261039941 10 days in the Stormberg Mountains http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7781081322 Back in the Stormberg Mountains with friends: May-June 2017 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6001078232 "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive.

Take a 5 gallon bucket, fill it half full of water. Put some sunflower seeds in it, put a plank up to the edge of it. Presto, there is the best squirrel trap there is. Just pull them out the next day,drowned. | |||

When we lived in Goshen,NY we had squirrel problems so I fixed up a little treat for them.I took a teaspoon full of peanut butter & coated some dried tabasco pepper pieces with the peanut butter & set it on the porch railing where they like to congregate.I watched a squirrel eat the special treat ,he ran up the big maple tree rubbing his gums and cheeks,didn't have to contend with squirrels crapping and getting into everything after several of them ate my special treats. | |||

I tried the peanut butter.It worked a treat.I have got 124 of the little buggers so far this year. My trapping was put aside for the summer as I have a host of pheasants to look after. Howver I like the idea of the 5 gallon drum and the sunflower seeds. Thanks 69deer. | |||
