my neighbor does that well maybe not from the ******* but maybe who knows. He stings them squirrels so his dogs can catch them easier. The tattooed squirrels come to my house for refuge and apples.Where I used to live I would sit on the toilet and wack a squirrel thru my bathroom window with a Sheridan . He would do the macarena and his brothers and sisters would come back to check on him .
That was proven to be a bad idea.
