SO I guess we have to wait until they start on killing poults?
Mind you one just went into the paddock and got a chase down for it's pains!

You have squirrels killing your poults? wow. I have never seen or heard of that.....however, if they are endangering your livestock it's always open season....just saying

I was gobsmacked when I caught one at it! They distract Mum and then snag a poult and drag it out of the pen. I was wrongly blaming other turkey hens for the 2 deaths and then I caught the (late) squirrels doing it. I was just hoping to get a jumpstart before we get loads of young.
