He was in my sights quite a few times. I also missed a few shots. So then I borrowed the pellet gun equivalent to a 300WM. After waiting a few days wanting to pick the perfect shot. I decided to let him live. He is the smallest and the last of a family of Red Squirrels that has been in our yard this last summer. He is also IMO the meanest, toughest and busiest. The wife has a tray feeder hanging from a Maple with peanuts and seeds for the Woodpeckers and Blue Jays. He has to jump about 2 plus feet to get on it. He doesn't seem to mind the Blue Jays however he hates the crows. There are a couple that are in the area. If they land on the tray he always jumps at them. He even jumped off the tree at ones that are on the ground under the tree. If he is in the area they (the crows) just circle from above. Anyway I hung-up the gun and he is getting a pass.
Need to name him now. Any suggestions?
