Squirrels
Am I allowed to shoot squirrels that are causing a problem in the turkey paddock? They are panicking the Mums!

Re: Squirrels
Why not! If you have a license for small anaimls you should be good. Other option is to trap and relocate.
It's time for their second litter so they are eating everything in sight. I limit putting feed out to 2x a day..
Good luck!
Cheers Karen

Re: Squirrels
Yes the new poults. Squirrels can be quite aggressive and will eat young birds etc.

Re: Squirrels
Yes, you can, if damaging property, and yes, frightening birds and eating their feed counts. It used to be open season on black and grey squirrels as a nuisance animal, but since hunting them started to get some interest, they are now classed as a small game animal and have a season. The little red squirrels, however, were considered a threatened species and not allowed to be hunted or harassed...however I no longer see them on the list, so I'm guessing that they would be fair game as well.

Re: Squirrels
Good to know. They are beyond a mere nuisance here at the moment.
