What really works well is a 12-gauge with a double load,I reload my own and starting this season to feed the birds,which I like to do,I had 12 in my yard,they were coming from everywhere as I live way out in the boonies,I am down to just two left so far.My dogs cannot catch them as they jump up in the trees when they see the dogs coming,but they cannot get away from the 12 gauge.My wife and I do not like to dispatch them,however,I got over 100 dollars in my feeders and I have many times got up in am to drink my coffee sitting on the deck and look at and two of my 5 feeders are on the ground all tore up,I go out get them take them to the garage and spend two hours trying to put them back together,which ticks me off as it would anyone.We have hundreds of squirrels here,mostly grays,and I have to slow them down.Feel me ??????? I take the ones I dispatch to the woods and the next day I go back and they are gone,the coyotes eat them as fast as I lay them down in the trails. :andy:
