Squirrel on the menu?.

[Brent Francis]

David, I was told that the squirrels in the UK are an introduced species. After recieving English Sparrows the Americans retaliated with grey squirrels. Is this true? One thing you may want to concider is keeping the tails. They are highly prized by those that tie flys for trout and salmon. also as ornamentation for pickup truck antennae.

Hi Brent.
I beleive the grey was introduced in the UK for it's fur and some escaped and as they say the rest is history. I do give some to my mate for fly tieing but as for ornamemtation not in UK . This country is run by furry friend lovers and do gooders who would like all us gun owners disarmed.
So tails on a antennae would give the sh-t anti's more ammo.
I wish some of our gun laws were like yours.

All the best Dave.
