The Airgun Gear Show SPECIAL - Red Squirrels

Thats the one thing i can't see myself buying, camo gear. If i'm spending a 100 quid on a jacket i want to be able to use it for things other than shooting, you look like a knob in camo in public.

Excellent vid guys. The best I've seen on the subject.

It must be working I've lived in cumbria all my life. I spend a lot of time outdoors and all I've ever seen is red's I hear there are more grays down south. We must be better shots up here lol

Is the grey squirrels native to the area and if not how did they come to the area? I have not heard about this happening here in the United States and we have both the reds and the grey squirrels living together in places like California and such.

I have been out on shoots before with rabbits in mind, then have left the rabbits alone after spotting gray squirrels.

I don't think trapping them is the way to go though, and I'm not just saying this because I would prefer to shoot them, but there is a chance that a hungry red squirrel could be caught in one.

i work as a caretaker in a school the school located in a forest.

5 years ago it was 100% red squirrels about 4 years ago i noticed grey squirrels in a matter of 4 years they have pushed out all the red squirrels they have basically took over the place.
