I've been seeing signs that the thirteen lined ground squirrels that we have in this area are moving into my yard. Little bastids are so slim and flighty that they make tough targets.
I'm thinking of setting out this weekend with my Henry 22 and some Colibri's or my .44 stuffed with birdshot.
Here's a way that works great with stripers. You need a fishing pole and some line, monofil fishing line, about 10lb test works best. Make a slipknot and ring the hole; wait for the little bastid to poke head up and jerk it out of the hole. First time I tried this I was eight for ten in one afternoon. It does work.
If you have a problem with moles, which are meat eaters only, get some poison worms. They work too, but you the landowner will get no satisfaction from killin' cause they just die in the tunnels.
