Squirrels

To be fair, if you caged anything and fed it nothing but tomatoes it would die.  Not sure about the hair loss though.

not sure if you've followed the conversation or not, jtksu, but that's exactly what we're talking about.  apparently some canadian friend of shack's gets his kicks by starving squirrels to death.

Keep in mind that having a pet squirrel is not legal in all states.

One of the first things I ever killed in a hunting scenario was a squirrel.  It was so cold he froze solid in the back of the truck on the way home.  He was really hard to clean, really tough skin.  I gave up and trashed him.  Felt bad.  Haven't killed one since.

What was your anticipated endgame with that frozen squirrel?  A tiny little coat?  A sweet trophy for your den?

here's a pretty great anecdote on our friend the squirrel-

did anybody read the Redwall series when they were younger? I really liked the squirrels in those books. they were mostly good guys and really fun characters.

youngMH used to watch the squirrels play when MHdad would take him hunting with him. youngMH used to imagine they were his favorite squirrel characters from the books, on an adventure to save Redwall abbey!

there was even a squirrel named Gooch! he had the title of Friar and liked to cook!

I ran over a squirrel once and was so afraid I had killed it.   Looked in my rearview mirror and saw it tumbling about and got more afraid.   But after it stopped rolling it dashed and jumped on the nearest tree.   Not sure what happened to it after that.   It almost made me run into a rough ridin' parked car though because I was looking in the rear view mirror worried about it.   eff you squirrel.  I think it was a grey one..

Pretty sure we cooked that thing up on St. Patties day.  Even used green food coloring.  Can't remember how it turned out.  Almost 100% chance there were large amounts of alcohol involved.

don't remember the redwall stories.  I think I said it earlier in this thread, but watching squirrels run around in the woods is great entertainment when you're sitting in a tree stand.

My mom hates squirrels. When I was little we went to some zoo in California. My sister was still a baby and in a stroller. When my mom saw the squirrel scamper by, she chased it while pushing the stroller like a maniac.
