Squirrel's pretty good, but I wouldn't want to shoot mine. I like watching them run around the yard. They're surprisingly loud on the roof. They use that as a shortcut to get from the backyard to the front. Sounds like antelope on the roof.
Hey man, don't knock him. they eat squirrel in SC. It's the number 2 meat down there.
as far as squirrels though...I don't mind them
outside of highly populated public areas. e.g.: college campuses.
Those fuckers are real terrors. Not so much their fault, but the idiot people that feed them and coddle them and coo over them; train them to be evil, pushy ground terrorists. On the way to work and back every day, this time of year, there's a ninja squirrel attack on some unsuspecting pedestrian because at that age, they define humans as "moving food towers."
