They are smart, and pretty hard to hunt. I have always loved challenges.   Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2011 12:58 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Not in your list.... Grouse.... VERY tasty....

Todd   Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2011 11:22 am rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC I think part of the problem is what is "game" and what are "pests".... I know there is a crossover for things like squirrels, which can be both.... but generally, I think of game as something I shoot to eat.... while pests (varmints) are something destructive that are killed to protect property in some way.... My favourite "pest" are Crows because they are so darn hard to get.... after the first one, anyway.... If I had them around here in numbers, I would probably answer "gophers" (ie ground squirrels) because I used to enjoy that a lot further north.... Squirrels here are protected....

What in the world is bringing the numbers down enough to have to protect them from hunters? Let me know so I can import it here! lol _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

There is an invasive species of squirrel (Eastern or Fox squirrel) that are grey or black in colour that can be hunted or killed at any time, but they (so far) are only in the lower mainland (Vancouver and suburbs) and on Vancouver Island.... They are much larger, and quickly take over the Red squirrel's territory, so they are fair game.... AFAIK, there are none within 75-100 miles of here....
