Reece Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 There is probably more than one, so keep your eyes open. They could have been breeding. If you want to use bait to draw it to a certain spot, use a bit of whole maize. You can buy it from a lot of garden centres (some people like to feed tree rats). Then you can draw it to somewhere you can get an easy shot at it. And last of all, remember to add your kills to the Pigeon Watch Grey Squirrel kill count for 2012. Good luck!

Bewsher500 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 we have a family that have just been allowed out of the nest, keep using out bird table as a local diner. unfortunately for them that is where I zero the PCP so I know I am good for 5p sized groups there!
