We have more ground squirrels this year than I've ever seen before. Some of these squirrels are supposedly "endangered". They look more like prairie dogs and dig big holes in the meadows. I made a repeater cage trap for squirrels. It'll catch up to 6 squirrels at a time.We just bought 2 new live traps squirrel size and a new air rifle for the same reason. For some reason the squirrels are thick. We had a bumper crop of acorns and hickory nuts last year and that may be the culprit.
The biggest problem that I have here is with chipmunks. I made a repeater cage trap for them too. I also keep about a dozen of my ermine traps set around the place. It's basically a wooden box about a foot long with a 1-1/2" hole drilled in one end and a trap set inside baited with grain.
