|
Sorry to get off of the fishing topic, but for a while now outside of my condo, I've been listening and watching 3 squirrels. 2 are fighting and chasing each other while 1 stays put most of the time. Does this mean breeding time for grey squirrels?

Squirrels don't spawn...that refers to what aquatic animals do.
Here's some info on squirrels...
| Quote: | | Female squirrels can mate only twice a year, but males can mate at any time. Often, severalmales will attempt to mate with the same female. They try to attract her attention by slapping the bark of trees with their paws and chattering loudly. After the mating the males play no part in the rearing of the young. |

When they're nesting, I like to texas rig a 2/0 gamu with Wisconsin port wine cheddar nut log and play it slowly through the leaves. I prefer this treeless set up to just ripping a bunker treble through the nest. After the nests are empty and they have settled into deeper cover...like my attic, I prefer my 410, as it doesnt blow the shingles off my roof from the inside.
Here's an easy stew recipe for grey-gills.

I've eaten squirrel stew before. Very tasty!
Enjoy feeding them outside my condo. Toss sunflower seeds, raw almonds, and raw peanuts. |
