How could he keep coming back time after time if he was injured??? :-)

Good grief! What makes you think the critter was injured? I don't remember if I've had any before but around these parts, squirrels are considered a delicacy. Hummmm, what was that stuff I liked so much at the Chinese restaurant?

All it takes is a home "in the woods" with an unlimited supply of squirrels, combined with a bird feeder and sunflower seeds. They were cleaning me out. The solution evolved, but ended up being a

130# Rotadore (Lab/Rot) dog with a fondness for warm squirrel, a favorite window, a .177cal air rifle with target pellets, a 10X scope sighted in and a TV camera looking at the feeder. When Mr/Mrs Squirrel would come calling, daily, a head shot with the pellet rifle would drop them from the feeder. The sound of the rifle's mild report brought the dog on the run, giving her a little appetizer. She'd eat what she wanted, lick up any blood and would bury the rest out in the boondocks.
