Vermont is also subject to the squirrel invasion big time this year, both reds and grays. Since early spring at my house we have had hundreds and they keep coming. They get into structures and tear insulation and Im concerned about their propensity to chew wires.
Weapon of choice is a Hi Standard pistol, mostly a 22 short sub sonic. Usually pop a few each day and there are more the next day.
Papers report a bumper food crop in certain areas for past two years has led to a boom in population that now pressures the food supply, so they are moving everywhere to find eats. This is the year for bears and rodents. A friends kids counted 200 squirrels on an I-91 trip to Mass the other day.
I must say Im getting plenty of practice and am pretty happy with my pistol shooting in all this.
