Instead of a gopher, it's a red squirrel, but the frustration is about the same for hubby. This thing is taunting him. We can watch it from the kitchen window as it walks right up to the trap, looks at the trap, ignores the peanut butter bait, and then goes into our shed. It's been doing this for weeks now, and has made a mess. I think one of its buddies died in there, too. :dead:

I gave hubby some new ammunition, Keebler snack crackers with cheese spread on them. Maybe our squirrel is tired of peanut butter.

Hubby caught one red squirrel, but the next ones are getting smarter.

They sit on my back deck eating the walnuts and acorns from our trees and they like to steal the birdseed.

Are they red or gray squirrels that you have?

Gray - until the hawk catches them. Which I have never actually seen but I have seen several chases.

Same here. They bombard the deck with hickory nuts to help break the outer shells.

Gray squirrels are calm docile creatures compared to the red squirrels. Reds are violent, destructive, and aggressive things. They go after the bigger grays with a vengeance, and we have numerous grays with red features. The male reds are havin' their way with the gray wimmenz.
