Wish I had more black squirrels around here about 99.99% of mine are gray and boring.

Lit up a squirrel harrassin my pup with my airsoft m16. Once it hopped up the tree, hit it again. Then a third time on the power wires. Nothin like seein that little turd hop around not knowing what the hell is going on.

Never felt the need to torture an animal that was just trying to do its best to survive, but maybe that's just me.

You could try to move it further out on the limb.  We had this problem over at my mother's house.  It ended up being a matter of taking away each new way they found to get into the seed.  Took some time, but we got there.

They sell metal or plastic covers that will prevent them from getting the seeds, alot of people just make one out of some sheetmetal, the animals just slip off because they cant hang on to metal or plastic thats smooth

Exactly what I was going to suggest.     Living in a rural town in Tennessee, squirrels are everywhere.  Mostly gray and a few fox squirrels.  .22s are perfect for killing them (of course if you plan on eating them or feeding them to predators (coyotes, bobcats [in our area] or whatever you have there).

Poor squirrel!

Shoot it

[Reschke]

If you shoot it then you must eat it. We don't have black ones down here in the south so I find that oddly pretty in an animal sort of way.

One of my friends has a black squirrel mounted (I'm in TN).  He said he killed it somewhere in this area.  That's the only one I've ever seen, though.

We have plenty of black squirrels around here, but the odd thing is I almost never see them in the woods they are always in town.

I had made one of these before its great entertainment watching squirrels

[Delirium]

I've never seen a black squirrel before.

I'd imagine the black color would make them easier prey for the coyotes we have around here, seeing the black color against a white (snow) background.
