I put out some nuts at the weekend and dangled the bag on a 4ft piece of fine chord to try and fox the squirrels. First squirrel just grabbed the chord from above and winched up the bag and then scoffed away. Looks like it will be receiving a .22 pellet after all.

Looks like it is,
"Grey squirrels are classified as vermin and as such it is legal to trap them with humane traps and then kill them. They can also be killed by a clean shot. Download our grey squirrel factsheet for more information."
( http://www.saveoursquirrels.org.uk/c...ey_Control.pdf )
The factsheet has sections such as 'Cranial Dispatch of Greys' !!!Comment

I think it is better to humanely catch them. Then hold them for 48 for interrogation under the Terrorist Act.
Perhaps apply psychological torture techniques to try and get a confession out of them. After that, charge them and let them stand trial. Then put them away for life.Comment

Dad wanted to pin the tails up as a souvenir, but the thought of having to explain to my girls what they were has deterred him. He keeps banging on about when he was younger you got paid a shilling (or something like that, I wasn't really listening) for taking a squirrel tail into the police.Comment
