Yesterday I had an interesting problem occur... I had an adventuresome squirrel in the house. Sometime while hauling stuff from the house to the car, a squirrel got the urge to explore the house. I noticed him when I went into the living room and saw a bushy tail dart behind the couch. A chase ensued and eventually he departed through the front door. With all my wildlife in the yard and a total lack of predators, these animals get brave. I've had rabbits on the deck (who knew rabbits would climb stairs). Most animals here are not bothered, but squirrels are the exception, they are frequent targets of my pellet gun. Now after invading my space, the assault on them will intensify. I may just start using 22 caliber snake shot next.
