I admire them, I respect them....
Therefore I must slay them.
However, put myself on a self-imposed Moratorium on treeratz as there aren't hardly none left close to my digs (I'm near Mesa, AZ) Got to do an EXTENDED drive to find places with enough Skwerls to make it worth shooting 'em (refer to my AZ Squirrel Update thread)
I MAY just take advantage of the AZ Game & Fish regs on Trapping & Live Trapping -- and begin a Partial Resettlement scheme. Go out crawdadding (or something), with the bed of the truck full of Havaharts or something similar. Catch about 1/2 dozen treeratz. Release in the Cave Creek area. Go back out on another weekend, repeat. Several of these trips should get me close to 1 doz. Skwerls to re-release in Northern Maricopa County. Then, the relocated Skwerls will do what comes naturally, and I figure in a few years it will be a MUCH shorter drive.
Only catch is, have not convinced my lady friend who lives near Cave Creek to have HER props be Ground Zero for the Program.
...said something about "not being thrilled to have bunches of chitterdemons scampering around her place, chewing holes in the eaves to get indoors, terrorizing the locals" and whatnot.
Well, there's always the shack in Rimrock...
