First and foremost; I am in no way advocating anything illegal. The 2014-2015 GA hunting regs state:
Squirrel Statewide August 15 - February 28 12 per day
That being said, if you happen to be driving along and have a little bugger run out in front of your truck and hit his head on your step rails (happened to me a few days ago) this would be a good use of the meat:
Fellow Shooters,
This is a general call for help from one of our club members and licensed falconer Mr. Clifford Cabe.
Dr. Patrick Hitchcock of the Lavonia, GA Veterinary Hospital is a recognized Owl Rehabilitator with over 35 years of experience. Over the years, he has help rehabilitate hundreds of birds and wildlife and released them back to the wild. He has always done this free of charge and many of the local Game Wardens bring wildlife to Dr. Hitchcock on a regular basis.
Dr. Hitchcock has been given six young owls (about 5 weeks old) to care for and he is is desperate need to help feed these birds until they are released back into the wild. Mr. Cabe has been helping Dr. Hitchcock with these young owls and has called for help from the shooting community.
These guys need fresh squirrels and as many as they can get. They've got enough squirrels to feed these owls through the weekend and need more.
In order to stay healthy, an owl has to eat about 10% of it's body weight EVERY day.
Here's what we can do to help.
1) If you have pesky squirrels that need to be thinned out...(and run into your step bumper)
2) Do not field dress. Take the freshly dead squirrel, put him in a plastic bag or zip lock bag and put in the fridge or on ice.
3) Give Clifford Cabe a call at 706-886-8585 and he will come pick up the squirrels pronto!
For kids only, Cliford has put a $1 per squirrel bounty to help get youngsters involved in doing a good deed (of picking up freshly dead squirrels) and earning money at the same time.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Pass the word if you know of anyone not on our General News mailing list!
