**** squirrels they are a plague on my garden. When I first started gardening on the river surrounded by nearly 200 acres of state park I would watch the suckers cross the river via the trees that over hang the river and head for my garden. They would eat 1/4 of tomato and leave it and move on to trash another one. I have squirrels by the scores because we are surrounded by woods. There is no worse a feeling that waiting on the day your sweet corn comes in only to go out and find all the rows or corn stripped bare. They would pull off the husks and eat the corn right off the stalks. I would go out and find naked row after naked naked row of corn stalks standing straight up looking like well um you guys know what I mean by naked stalks standing straight up eh
So I bought a few traps and set them up every night. Then in the morning I would collect my traps and down the road I would drive until I found areas where no one lived. I set them free. It took many many weeks of catching 3 or 4 squirrels until I made a dent in the local population but a dent I made reducing the looses to my beloved veggies.
Die suckers die.
BTW consider yourself lucky is was a piece of crap squirrel you ran over instead of a ground hog which would have put you on the ground.
