rodents hate the smell of (strong chemical) lemon. If you can find one of these old-fashioned blocks meant for hanging in the toilet to keep bad odours out.. they will work. Either hang the block close to the antlers or rub them with it. I put them under the hood of my car (I am living in the woods) to prevent rodents gnawing at the rubber parts. It works!\nGood luck, greetings from Holland

Once they've found food, they'll keep coming back. Make sure they can't get into your trash, etc. and they might go away but it's doubtful. You either have to trap them and move them somewhere else or kill them (I hate to say that). We've had the same issue at our lake property. They come and raid our bird feeders at night. The full time residents down there eventually kill them instead of trapping and moving them.

why the hell do you anties even bother answering thease questions, Or thats right its to try and provoke us hunters, not working im better than that , so if that makes me better than you then so be it.\nPeople are genraly scared of what they dont understand, ''is'nt that wright folks''\nNow to the morons that say fox and rabbits are not vermin, i bet you have no problem killing a mouse or rat though.\n\nNow to you question, shot gun certificate and bacs membership (British Accosiation for shooting & Conservation) well there is a good start.\nThe way i would tackle this is to jump in your car, witth a pair of benoculars and have a drive around your surounding country side looking for flocks pigeons and the fields they were feeding on, On an evening you could do a similar thing by looking for rabbits (you will only stan a chance of getting permision this way if its plauged with rabbits) Next step find who the owns the land and approach them (during the day) make sure your dressed sensibaly (not cammo gear) Addrres that you have noticed the problem with pigeons and let the farmer know that you know whet your talking about, may be also take an intrest in what he is doing around the farm/land etc. Any farmer who is having problem with pegeons will be more than happy to let you control them, Get you feet under the table first. Same princable with the rabbits, and with foxs, should you get the pemision you seek any farmer will tell you to shoot them. \nThe key to this relys on first impresions when you approach the landowner/farmer\ngood luck\nIf you need anymore addvice just drop me an e mail .\n\nwhat a load  of bollocks about the game licence, A game licence is  requiard in the british isls if you intend to kill game, there not requiard for killing vermin, and whats said about the farmer requiring the info from your game licence, well thats more bollocks.\nFor the people who think fox are not vermin, try looking on the genral vermin list, even the canada goose is now classed as vermin.

Eggs don't brake, they break.  \n\nMake sure it drops onto some soft foam.  Then it won't break.

The answer is none.\nSee, boy squirrels CAN chase tails, they don't do it though as they're all too obsessed with burying their nuts in places they then forget about.

We were out "camping" in a trailer... My cousin and I spent the whole day fixing it up and making it look nice for the next day when the family would arrive.. Late that night we were fixing something underneath the "sink" and we heard a rustling.. so we were looking around all the cabinets to see what it was.. I opened up the fridge and this HUGE flying squirrell came rushing out and it smacked into my cousin and got caught in the curtains...   it took us 4 hours to get the poor 'lil guy back outside... Then he kept trying to get back in, finally he got the idea and ran off to wherever.

Squirrels gather and store nuts and they usually store them by burying them, which is why they dig.\n\nHere are a couple of good links.

If you want to "suck up an egg" i.e., one egg at a time, try a canister type vacuum cleaner with a (plastic?) tube(s) for attachments.  Omit the attachments but place a cloth screen (cheese cloth?) in the tube opening taped in place outside the tube.  After reaching into the pallet to get an egg and moving it to where you want to deposit it either shut off the vacuum cleaner or open the slide opening that some tubes have to reduce vacuum or block the discharge for only a moment to release the egg.  Good luck.

Mythbusters did this using a paper cone weighted at the tip so it fell 'point down'.  \n\nOn impact the cone tip will crush dissipating the energy.  Foam (particularly shredded) or other padding around the egg will stop the egg breaking when the cone falls over after impact.\n\nRemember the point is to dissipate the energy not just stop the egg hitting something hard - simple but effective.

use a parashute and a cup full of torn paper for cushing make sure that the egg is secure in the cup so it doesnt fall out when it lands

Bound's hubby here:\n\nI have to differ with the people above. For about the first fifteen years of my life, my family was living heavily off of upland game taken by shotguns. This would include rabbit, pheasant, quail, duck, and the occasional deer. All shot with lead and none of it shot with steel or the modern blends.\n\nIt's hard to believe a person could eat game and not notice shot in their mouth while they were chewing the meat. You just spit it out. While preparing the game, you would see the entry points and most of the shot would pass through. \n\nThe concern about lead contamination is generally associated with lead dust. None of us suffered from lead poisoning. We never had to toss meat because of lead contamination. Lead shot is so small, in most instances, it should pass through your body. I doubt you have to worry about a pile of lead accumulating in your tummy. \n\nGame shot with lead shot is safe. The reason waterfowlers have to use "non-toxic" steel shot or bismuth is because of ingestion by bottom feeders which is more an anti-gun campaign than a health issue.\n\nBefore I worried about ingesting game shot by lead, I would be more concerned about all the food at the grocery stores that was steroid enhanced! There is a greater risk of complications from second hand steroid ingestion than game killed by lead shot.

Sounds like moles, go to the hardware store and get more traps,  It is like a gian pouse trap you put it in their hole it catches and kills them.

Get a humane trap and bait it with marshmellows and bird seed (trust me, it works). Place the trap where you usually see the chipmunk, and then leave the trap sit until you catch it. When you catch the chipmunk, reach into the cage and grab it with leather gloves. Then you can either drown it in a bucket, turn on a car and hold its head in the exhaust pipe, hit it on the head with a hammer, chop its head off with a butcher knife, grab its head and quickly twist it back so its neck brakes, or just drop it off a couple of miles down the road. DON'T GRAB IT WITH THIN GLOVES OR YOUR BARE HANDS!!!
