Good information, thank you. I hadn't realized that a squirrel would eat the bark off a tree (killing the tree).

You said that you used an air rifle. What type or model of air rifle did you use?

Do you mean what we call in the USA a "BB gun" or do you mean something else? I didn't think that an BB gun would be powerful enough to kill a squirrel.

I have 6 mature blackwalnut trees in my backyard. I have a large group of fox squirrel as a result. They eat their share of walnut so I leave them be for the most part. I do have a long standing border skirmish going on with cotton tail rabitt. They eat the bark off my fruit trees for fat content during winter. It looks like beaver damage in the spring.

Good justification mate for killing that squirrel. I find that statement comparable to saying, "there are too many muslims living among us christians and they are destructive to our religious ideas, and breed too much so we my as well kill them". Well done mate. You said that as well as preacher. Keep kililng those enemies known as the grey squirrel before they take over our more beloved red squirrels. Hapy Killing to you mate!! Good job!!
