I wish I lived someplace where I could do the same.
I live trapped 27 of them one summer and moved them to a city park. I'm down to 6 or 7 now so its not so bad.
you do know they eat just fine and are easy to clean, yeah?

all my tree rats were country rats, so they had clean diets, but I do take your point. live trapping isn't hunting but eradicating, and "what does it matter my means of disposal?" would be my defense.
I had to dig for the picture, but this is what happens here when a pellet gun is seen.
There were 13 cruisers total and at least 8 cops in full combat gear with AR15's shouldered and ready, because of a 'man with a gun' call which was actually a teenager with a pellet gun and two grown men in their yard.
It all took place adjacent to the backyard of the house next to me where the one cruiser is in the lane way, like an alleyway. More cruisers around the corner and they had the entire property surrounded.
"GET ON THE F'ING GROUND, NOW! FACE IN THE F'ING DIRT. I'LL F'ING SHOOT YOU!" because of a pellet gun in his own back yard.
He was arrested and 2 pellet guns seized. One CO2 rifle and one spring piston .177 handgun. I dont blame the police, they have no idea what they're walking into, but wow.
wow. I mean, I get it too, but man... I mourn for the country of our youth in a lot of ways. others are better.
I guess you'll just have to make friends with 'em.

I did that too one year; got 22 or 23! Marked it on a calendar. You don't realize how many there are!
Released into a squirrel-dense area, they immediately learned the trees are already claimed ... The conflicts were worth watching!

"it's a technique."
my grandparents had a squirrel that I semi-tamed by hand feeding for a while when I was a kid. at least it didn't fight me for the snacks.
Do they carry powder & primers?My local WM is a gun friendly as corporate will allow them to be. They have a large selection of guns, ammo, and reloading equipment and components....
