I have 6 mature blackwalnut trees in my backyard. I have a large group of fox squirrel as a result. They eat their share of walnut so I leave them be for the most part. I do have a long standing border skirmish going on with cotton tail rabitt. They eat the bark off my fruit trees for fat content during winter. It looks like beaver damage in the spring.

Good information, thank you. I hadn't realized that a squirrel would eat the bark off a tree (killing the tree).

You said that you used an air rifle. What type or model of air rifle did you use?

Do you mean what we call in the USA a "BB gun" or do you mean something else? I didn't think that an BB gun would be powerful enough to kill a squirrel.

@penguinistas Air Rifles different, they're like a special type of rifle usually Air or Gas powered which fire .22 cal lead pellets, mainly used for pest control like killing rats and stuff, yet not able to take down a human.

Good work, the government should put a price on grey squirrels to try and get the numbers down. Good woodland management.

You certainly don't need to justify hunting for sustenance, but well put.
