Don't try this at home, Part 2

Idiots like this will cause bad laws to be passed and over-regulate the rest of us.

Natural selection in action.  Hopefully that fool won't be able to reproduce.  Nah, we won't be that lucky.

What is that saying?  "You can't fix stupid."  yeah, something like that.  There were several other vids of idjits doing the same stupid thing.

Evolution is a theory that says stupid fixes itself, given enough time  :-)  Evolution works whether you believe in it or not. He might have qualified himself for a Darwin Award without actually killing himself. Maybe he will be able to sing in the choir a lot longer than he planned to. Live and learn.

Really though, how many of us can't say "There but for the grace of God, go I"?

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Apparently none, as they seem to have matched their environmental situation and are doing quite well. Maybe the ones left are learning to stay out of polluted water. Fossils of them have been found that date back 100,000 years.  ;D

 I just hope that squirrels don't evolve much more smarts during my lifetime. They've provided endless hours of mindless entertainment as long as I can remember...

Hard to tell in the crappy video, but I believe that is a fireworks mortar (cardboard tube, plastic base).

Not something that would be in the same class as a replica black powder cannon or mortar.


Of course that won't matter to the outraged 'public servant' that calls for a ban.

The public servant that could call for a ban would likely think that," If you've seen one mortar, you've seen 'em all"!

i ve spent hours on end getting them to eat from my hands ......as i like them ....and they have given me mindless hours of fun watching them be ...squirrely ... ;D

honestly if i found a kid doing this i would ....bust him BIG TIME ....as in all realiity that creature is exactly like you and me ....it is doing the best it can with what it has to work with to get by , there is no malice .

dont like them ...fine ,then kill them with a pellet rifle or .22 ....
but splattering them on trees for shi%s and grins >:( >:(......not so much .... >:(

i suppose if one can manage to wound the mom to where her bones are broken she wont be able to raise her babies ...you might get some for free .....?

Vic3 i mean nothing personal and i'm sure you don't mean it just kidding around ....but injuring wild animals for fun ????

those lives are painfull and tough enough without some dillweed trying to add more ....for a grin ... :o

BELIEVE ME when i say ////i've done my share and then some .............and i regret 90% of it .......but then i'm just a leaf eater now ....so there is that .

JMHO and i could be wrong ,....but i'm not , no i'm not  ;D  ;D     ok i'm off my soapbox ......make the thing umoungus and shoot your kids off a pier into the water ....that would be a hoot .

kids into the trees ......that might raise an eyebrow .

 Rocklock1,

 Let me clear the air (of squirrels) :)

 I assure you I would never actually build a squirrel-caliber gun. I have done some squirrel fishing though; a peanut in the shell tied to the end of a line. If you ever want some cheap entertainment, I highly recommend it. Suckers will often just not let go until they get it loose. No squirrel damage, and they get a free meal after a little tug - o'- war  ;D

i can see myself next winter ...'fishing for squirrels'   for sure  ;D. it will give us both something to do ....

peanuts tied to a string ... ;D do you fish them like crappy with little jigs that twitch or troll them deep with long steady pulls .....

as these are local squirrels i should proly observe them myself  ;D.....their habbits , their ways  ,their yin their yang , what makes them tick ....what makes them strike ! not 'if' they are hungry and just passing by . fly fishing style ....


fly fishing for squirrels ...... it could work ..on Sat. morning fishin shows ....I think my old 3 wieght winston
might just be the ticket .  ;D

slimy subreptiean creatures be damned ...i'm movin on up to the the warm fuzzys .  god forbid i ever land one ! :D

Double D:  I and my cannon were once very involved with the Scottish community.  For years, they wanted me to launch a haggis but I argued that it would be tantamount to environmental polution ::)  Thinking back on it now; a "Catch" event with a frozen haggis lobbed from a grenade mortar would have been a hoot-mon!
