Deadfalls have worked pretty well for me, but the real secret to squirrel hunting is to have a cat. My cat will kill squirrels very cleanly with the old neck bite, but as he is well fed, he will not...

I had a cat a long time ago. I wish that cat would have only left dead skwrrls in my work boots....

We don't have squirrels down here. But we do have cats. And we, too, had a cat which used to leave undesirable things where we didn't want them. Cant say it ever targeted my workboots though! It would...

I have never understood why people always put down animals with guns. Whenever a dog has rabies or is injured beyond repair, or whenever a cat is extremely irritating, people always have to shoot it....

Hmmm..... Certainly a club is a more paleo-related way to do the job. I guess folks think of a gun as the most humane method they have at their disposal. A well-placed bullet is, to me, much more...

A club used on such a small animal will instantly obliterate massive amounts of brain material, "instant kill" is an understatement. Any post-mortem twitching would just be nerves, not writhing in pain.

Hmm... KiwiCoote erased the part about putting down the cat, so everything you and I just said will not make any sense to anyone reading this.

I didn't mean to start sumptin'. I got a cat right now. He's cool.

Bows work just as well on cats and dogs...(at least the wild ones, anyway)

TSB, did you bait that bobcat? I only saw one once and it was gone as quick as it showed up. No chance of drawing on it.

Nice. That'll be less competition come deer hunting season.

No...no baiting. I have only been successful on drawing on predators while they are hunting and totally focused. Otherwise, they will generally bust you. I shot that cat while he was sneaking in on a...

Singing Bowyer, do you know any good methods for trapping coyotes?
View ArticleRe: whats the best primitive hunting tool for squrriels
I had some success snaring coyotes in fence crossings and travel routes out of pastures, but now that I live in OK, it is against the law. A dirt-hole set is probably the best way to catch either fox...

Blowgun. My last home made blowgun sort of rotted (river cane) but it turns out that a 5-foot, schedule 80, 1/2" pvc pipe I had was the same size as my darts. It gave my bamboo darts twice the range,...

Hey barbarianator, you're right! A club will put a dog and a cat down faster than a bullet! Just don't do it in the kitchen, even if the cat IS a mangy stray run in from outside, or you'll be at it...

Barbarianator, ours cats must be related, as mine does the same thing with mice and voles. "Look Daddy, I brought you a present!"
