Red squirrel up here is open season all the time. There as fun to find as they are to shoot! I should call my local game warden first but i want to try baiting. some cracked corn, maybe? is it legal were you are?
 
Try peanut butter. When I was a kid, we used to make a live trap with a bird cage and bait it with peanut butter. Worked great. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Climbing up a tree and acting like a nut works but after getting chewed up and coming home with my clothes all torned up, I've stwiched to peanut butter. Also easier on the back and you dont loose your balance and fall out of the tree after being ambushed by squirrels.
Nothing can prepare you when you have a whole division of red squirrels coming towards you at full speed.
 
Thanks for your posts guys. Very funny!
Sorry I did'nt reply sooner but I forgot to pay my internet bill and they shut me down for a few days. I'm gonna try the peanut butter. I'll slap some on the base of a tree and sit back. Though red squirrel are fearse when cornered up a tree and would'nt climb a tree withOUT a gun, I'd rather be safe than sorry! I just need them to stand still while I shoot'm. So the peanut butter is the way to go.
 
universal squirrel bait... just wish we had more around. All we have is abunch of greys and afew foxes. Oh well, $1 apiece still make alittle money.....
 
maybe you should go to a costum shop and see if they have a red squirel costum. I think that might do it. But make sure it is a male one. Don,t want to get the shaft when your not looking.
