A couple of years ago, all the red squirrels with in a mile of my house acquired a zombie like obsession with getting into my house. After 6 porch screens being cut up by them and replaced by me, I declared jihad on all red squirrels. The weapon of choice? My old Daisy 880 pump rifle up and .177 cal pellets. My best day I got 5, one right after another. I would pitch their bodies over the bank behind the house. One day my wife came into the house and asked me with an accusatory tone if I knew anything about "all those dead squirrels over the bank?" Up until that point I had not burdened her with knowledge of the jihad.

I bet I killed 50 red squirrels that year...
