So many black squirrels. We don't have any around here. All greys and reds with the occasional blonde or white.

We get black, grey and red. Crow

Great shooting! You are definitely at war with them! I too got into airguns because of rats in my back yard and one got in the house thru a doggy door.....that meant war.......so I truly understand your dilemma and passion!

Thanks.
I had a roof shingled years ago and the roofers put in plastic vents. Of the 4 vents tree rats chewed through 3 of them. Got in attic and chewed wires bare. He didn’t survive. Luckily fixed all, before place burnt down.
Had another bad run with them as well at another property. Very destructive. Crow

I would eat those. I only have one soaking in salt water now. If only my marksmanship was as good as my intentions

Good job stopping the invasion. Lately I've been giving my 0.25 EdGun R5M PCP a rest and instead using my Air Arms .177 TX200 HC underlever springer on the tree rats.

Thanks. The TX will certainly work. Crow

Hello @crowski

Wow it is a very rare sighting in my neck of the woods to see a black squirrel, and that dude up at the top looks like he has been dyed ( pun intended )

How did you ever decide which rifle to use, that must have been a major challenge?

That’s easy. All my rifles are squirrel guns. Crow

Nice shooting.

I see black variants of grey squirrels here in suburbi, but they don’t seem to last long. I think they stand out more and become easy pickens for the hawks.

Thanks. Way more blacks here, then grey and red.

Glad to see you were armed and able to hold off this first wave!

I’m always ready. My wife is like a blood hound for tree rats. Take a little change out of their spending because Rocky does damage to your property. She doesn’t forget. Crow

Had a buddy who had to pay $2000 to get the wiring fixed in his attic because of a home invasion from tree rats. Glad you were able to hold them off.

Thanks. Win a battle, lose a battle. But win the war. Crow

chip78 said:

I paid more to get rid of them from my attic and to repair 10-15 years ago! Therefore, I shoot every squirrel invading my property. But of course, airguns and associated expenses are high. Oh well, at least it's now a hobby.

I’m riding the same wave. Crow
