I'm very gun averse, I've known a few shooting types who I'd say are more rambo than sustainable hunter, it'd take a lot for me to let someone with guns onto my land. This appears to be a pretty instant and non messy way of dealing with the squirrels, one day I'll find a ferret man round here.

Not saying it'd never happen but they'd have to be someone I knew really well or come on the recommendation of someone I knew.

Yeah, haven't got enough time to learn to shoot straight at the mo. If I ever get the time I'd like to learn to shoot.

Air rifle shooting is easier than you think, as long as the sights are zeroed in properly. The trick is to get close enough and the buggers keep still enough for a shot.

Fair enough.

Who do you know.

Seriously though, I appreciate your concerns, and it's your land, so you are ultimately responsible for what goes on on it.

If you want some help, you know where to find me.

If I had the time I'd love to, but too much on already.
