I live 7 doors down from the city mayor, so I use a .22 caliber air rifle. Mine is a Beeman R9. I have taken over 200 of the little buggers in the last 3 years, most recently one yesterday and one today. I tried the live trip/relocate for over a year before I gave up on it. Never got them out of the attic.
They WERE in my attic. My attic has now been vermin free for 2.5 years.
Squirrel Pot Pie
Squirrel and Dumplings
Brunswick Stew
Grilled Squirrel
My favorite was the Dumplings.
Squirrel jerky can be mighty fine if smoked properly. For the other menu items, we had to lie and tell our daughter it was rabbit.
EDIT The trouble with red squirrels and chipmunks is that it takes too many to make a decent meal. Jerky on the otherhand is usually eaten in small bites.
