Why I hunt critters... (continued)

This is why.... the destruction they cause. Destruction of tree limbs that contribute tp the eventual death of a tree.
Its got to be the trees or the vermin! I made my choice!

I finally got around to cutting down the dead branch that the squirrels killed. While up there, I noticed several other branches that have been girdled by squirrels.

The branch that triggered it all - before and after removal from the tree.


Other branches that are most likely going to die.
