• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

how to keep squirrels off your deck

A little harsh--but then again--I like the cute critters.

We had a couple regulars that came to our bird feeder and to taunt the cats through the window. The squirrels would walk the window sill and just drive the cats crazy.

One of them stored about 2 pounds of mushrooms in my BBQ over the winter. I had to do a good cleaning when I fired it up in the spring. :yes:

I used to talk back to the squirrels when I sat in the hot tub. They would chatter and I would mimic them. We would get quite a conversation going, and the more I talked back, the more exited they got. The ex was ready to send me off to the funny farm--but guess I survived.
 
Tough little guys...

probably caught a brach swung around and is on his way back...better than magic mountain...:roflblack:
 
I have a love hate with a little fat squirrel. He shows up every day and feasts.
i chase him he runs then comes back:yikes::yikes::yikes:
but I wouldn't hurt him.

Now you've done it!!

That first one is probably out telling all the neighbouring squirrels about the free food & fantastic ride he found at your place!! Next thing you know, you'll have a squirrel party on your deck as they all come over to check out the freaking awsome ride!! :eek:
 
Yep, it's called Squirrel pult ;)

Many have done it on youtube. This was the funniest I have seen.


By the way, this video has caused a lot of controversy with Animal rights people.

I've got 7 of em cleaned up and in the freezer after they emptied out my bird feeders. Few more and its time for a spaghetti meat sauce.

OMG, my Dad you to shoot and eat Squirrels! My Mom told me I ate them before in sauces as a young child..... I like to try new things but a rodent? What the heck... I might try it again just to see ;)

They're pretty good. :thumbup:
They taste a lot like rabbit; the texture of the meat isn't as stringy. :clap: nojoke

...kind of like... chicken! :roflblack:
 
My tenants and neighbors have my permission to shoot the little ba****ds on my property. They have cost me considerable $$ from damage they've done to my buildings, I had to replace the corners on the vinyl siding on one 2 story building, they would chew "steps" up the corners and chew holes in the soffit and nest in the attic.
The neighbors will shoot them, soak them and salt them down and when they get enough, they will make a stew. I won't eat any furry tailed rats, and have difficulty killing any living animal.

If you ever see Nutria on a menu, look out! It's the meat from rats. I've also heard of coats made from Nutria fur.

I've eaten cuy, a national dish in Peru. It's guinea pig. It was roasted and not bad at all.

They are in the rat family. Thats why I call 'em tree rats. They eat nuts, seeds, ect. Unlike chickens or turkeys that will eat anything slow enough to catch and small enough to swallow.
