Feeding birds with seeds is all fine and fun, but why is it an issue when other wildlife shows the same interest and wants some. Every time I see one of these video I come to the conclusion that the people doing this have some serious mental issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Screw the birds. If we had more squirrels here I would have squirrel feeders. They are more fun to watch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of trees in the way and hitting that head on will likely cause injury if not more. I saw the same bullshit videos where the squirrel ended up running in circles to no end, obviously stemming from a head trauma. Only an ignorant person would make a general statement like that. Would you still laugh this off if people would do that with your pet cat for example? "Hey... they ALWAYS land on their feet, right..?" Until a pole is in the way.

Maser Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) A .22 caliber bullet to the head doesn't hurt squirrels either. Edited February 9, 2021 by Maser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I strongly dislike squirrels. And on a totally unrelated note, I want a cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I have been to many functions involving cannons. One of the best was shooting a guys ashes out over Cook Inlet. Took multiple shots. The last one was a 5 shot revolving cannon. We know how to party in Alaska. Let's get it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 11,350 grain 40mm conical projectile VS 230 grain 45 ACP. Canons are fun when used correctly. Most Cannon “accidents” are not safe cannons. They are thick walled steel tubes with a plug welded in the bottom to form a breach plug. Very unsafe.
