Topband: Coax rodent protection

[Charlie Cunningham]

A .22 with 'scope mounted on it works pretty well on squirrels. The scope
helps a lot if you're old like me, and have gotten to be too farsighted to
get a decent sight-picture with iron sights.

Lots of folks don't appreciate how destructive those little "tree rats" can
be!

My squirrels were gnawing the top rail of my redwood deck and where they 
urinated it bleached the wood. I chose a more final solution--an 
efficient killer trap from Forest Supply, ordered on the internet. 1 jar 
of cheap peanut butter will provide bait for probably 100 squirrels. 
Those (#($((%) squirrels  --eastern Grays, which are an invasive species 
here in CA--are very aggressive and push out the native squirrels,

After 20 years of no problems, they chewed up my rotator loops on my 
treetop array, which eventually caused me to replace everything, at 
enormous cost. I have no empathy or sympathy for them.

The deer mostly break my Beverages.
