simplyputsi 0 #1 August 29, 2006 So I caught this little guy helping himself to the dog food we had put out on the porch. Dog food had gotten ants in it inside and we put it out there. Sprayed the thing with ant killer, but I guess little guy didn't care. Anyway he was jumping in getting some food and then hanging out on the edge eating it. I can't believe how close I was to him without him running away. He must have been really into that food.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #5 August 29, 2006 Yes, I thought about blasting him but then thought about if I missed what it would do to my deck. Not to mention i'm not really that mean. Think he is still alive, I'm sure the food he ate didn't have much ant killer on it. Now the bird that I saw eating the dead ants might not have made it.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #7 August 29, 2006 ahh yes, true true, I probably wouldn't have missed, but those little guys are fast and I can see as i'm pulling the trig he bolts off. Actually the ammo I have in my gun right now would blow him apart and still demolish my deck. Bad bad ammo.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #16 August 29, 2006 yes yes I do find some of them cute. This one was ok, but not the cutest. There are actually two different ones in my pictures. When he finally noticed me and took off when I looked over the railing there was another one, the one looking into the drainage pipe.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #19 August 29, 2006 ahh we have a dog I would have unleashed, but it was not at home at the moment. Actually the dog has kept the squirrels scarce since whenever we let her out she chases them down. She is sick fast too. Hasn't caught any yet, just scared the bejesus out of them. I might have to try that pepper thing though.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #20 August 29, 2006 Squirrels and Racoons are evil... evil I tell you... there are three of these guys stealing birdseed... and I guess they've figured out how to take it out of the storage cans in addition to knowing how to remove it from the feeder (shown...)
