If neighbors knew what we were doing, they would probably have PETA protesting in our front yard. Actually, we were looking out for our squirrel friends and thought they would like City Park much better than our yard. These squirrels have been bothering us since we moved here. I have opened up our bedroom blinds to see a squirrel running outside the screen, they have dug up bulbs in our garden, and in general are just pests. Andy borrowed this trap from his dad and within a few minutes got em! The secret weapon was a cracker covered with peanut butter and bird seed.

We then drove him across the river (we figured his chances of finding his way back were slim).

Here is the big release at City Park. There are lots of tall trees here, which I'm sure they will enjoy. See, we are very humane!

Once Andy unlocked the door, the squirrel ran and ran and never looked back!

We have done this about 7-8 times since Wednesday. Yes, we are officially starting the Northside Trappers Association. If anyone is having problems with squirrels, just let Andy know. He is getting very good at this!
