Not an option where I live. Even if it were, the red squirrels are
sneaky little *******s and fast as hell. When I was releasing them from
the trap they would accelerate from 0 to about 70 mph in 1 second flat
and be gone before you could even take aim. :-)

You rarely see them running around in the woods, unlike the grey squirrels.

As Tim could point out, squirrel hunting requires patience and being
able to sit still. You don't stalk them, you just sit where they hang
out and wait. Eventually they ignore you and come out.

I have no interest in hunting them but when they set up residence in
your house it's time for them to be encouraged to move on. They can be
very destructive if left there long enough, including chewing through
wiring and starting a fire.
