Much better Shorts...SQUEET...SWEET.

I'm designing one for a nearby dog...angled correctly it 'should' land in their living room.

 

One of my favorite squirrel launchers

 

So thats the way a squirrel flies! I always thought they did it on their own...learn something new everyday.
I wonder if that was a repeat flyer?

 

You guys forgot to put the disclaimer in those videos.

No squirrels were harmed in these tests because we only use flying squirrels.

I think I saw bullwinkle in the backround of that second video pulling the rip cord.

 

The trick to fooling repeat offenders is that your setup is not predictable with any tell tale signs, sounds, or sights. If the squirrel sees you in the window or patio door when he flies, it will learn not to go over there when he sees you. Much like you train a dog.

I have squirrels that get into the bird feeder. When I see them I flip the patio door unlocked and turn the dog loose. The squirrels then learned to bolt when they heard the click of the lock. Before that they learned to bolt when they saw me and the dog sitting at the door staring at them. I'm sure they saw me and the dog giggling.

So, you gotta get sneaky.

 

Did any of you watch it on youtube and happen to veer off into the related squirrel chuckin videos?

Some seriously clever and funny stuff...............

I especially liked this one........

 

that squirrel looked seriously freaked out for a moment...

 

Yep, reminded me of the video of the dude they shot off the airbag under, except he didn't come back to his senses nearly as fast.

 

Thats because he had no sense to start with. Gotta have something to come back to...

 

ROFLMAO at all 3 videos. Too funny. I don't have a squirrel problem. I have 2 outside dogs, they handle it for me. But if I did, what awesome ideas.
