All that is needed to hunt squirrels is a $28 combination license, a small price to pay for months of enjoyment and relaxation. The hunting season for squirrels is one of the longest fall seasons and one of the most underutilized. Squirrel season will run continuously through Feb. The opening day of the season is also Free Hunting Day across the state when all resident hunters are exempt from hunting licenses and Wildlife Management Area permits requirements. Tennessee’s hunting season for gray, fox and red squirrels opens Saturday, August 23 as established by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Here in Tennessee we might take care of em this way. Natural predators, ahhh the Fisher (as mentioned above) and here in Tennesse the Red Tailed Hawk, but good luck getting one of those to stick around and watch over your little patch of pine trees. I know that is a radical idea, but I can testify I had a garage and actually parked my car inside for 20 years! Even more astounding, it was a two-car garage and my daughter parked in the other half! On the other hand maybe your neighbor could clean out his garage and park inside it. However, I think aesthetics might rule this out. Like a carport roof, but made of cloth to catch the cones. You could also build a cloth small tent to cover your neighbor's car. When the pine cones mature, they will get lighter and less dense. You should try to build a squirrel-proof bird feeder.Īlso consider that the supply of squirrels is infinite. There is no way to keep them from running through the trees. Squirrels can jump 8 feet horizontally and 4 feet vertically.

I have been known to trap a squirrel or two, myself, I guess I need to check my state's fish and game laws to see how stealthy I should be when I release them. I am not an expert in vermin game laws but ran across this because I really wanted to know if CA squirrels carry the plague. Because ground squirrels carry diseases and are agricultural pests, the California Fish and Game Code specifies that it is illegal to release them elsewhere without a written permit." Live-catch traps are not recommended because they present the problem of how to dispose of the live animals. "Traps are practical for control when squirrel numbers are low to moderate. but i do get to tell this story lots, about when my veterinarian wife freaked out over some squirrels. ![]() no bites, but not the best time rounding them up (we at least had the sense to put our 2 beagles outside before trying the capture. red squirrels leap on my shoulder, then on floor, scrurrying around, all 3 of them. ready? are you sure? now no dropping your side. so when it drops, you just need to keep holding your end of the pillowcase no matter what, or the squirrels will get loose in the house. i'm going to loosen this last screw and the vent hood is going to open. tried to trap them w/ a pillowcase ("now, honey. closed that off w/ chicken wire, and then they moved to the kitchen stove vent. I had red squirrels getting into our fireplace chimney. after the catch, throw a sheet over it so it doesn't freak out, and then put that in a bucket, and drive em at least 10 miles away. ![]() ![]() I put peanut butter on cardboard, wedged in the very middle of the tip plate in the back. ![]()
