- In this video, I go into detail on how I like to set up my squirrel feeders. Everything from trimming overhanging branches to feeder height and baits that work well. Hope you find it useful, for more information or to inquire about buying your own feeder please visit: www.squirrelmanagementuk.co.uk
Great video Andy, yep you keep banging away at them, we need our red squirrels back like they used to be, Cheers
cheers bud, quite right
Yep, Red squirrels are native animals in the British isles but the Greys pushed them out of their territories. They are very close to non exist. They are protected by law so if you see any red squirrels, don't shoot them but make sure the squirrels are grey before you can shoot them.
The Greys somehow come from America and invaded the British isles.
The Reds are mostly in the north of England and some area of Scotland.
@@DavBlc7 Hi yes, I remember reading all about that. Thanks for that detailed info.
Nice feeder. Good work on them greys! Been following you for a couple years now on insta and on RUclips never really comment only watch and like. But love your content especially your airgun stuff.
Kyran Webber cheers bud, glad you enjoy the content :)
Yes, I did enjoy this video,..really good design of a feeder isn`t it?
I hope we will see more results from this area.
great work Andy keep up the great work
Nice bud your doing fantastic now bud keep up the good work. Looked like you had a grand time on you holiday. Thats probably a mouse setting the trap off and getting out the holes lol. Hope alls well cheers
Tim Ward cheers mate , yeah Holliday was great :) I think your right about the mouse, saw a couple running about yesterday , cheers Tim
Wish they sold these in the USA but they won’t ship here. Too bad. I would buy one in a heartbeat,
Andy, regardless of that, you have a great channel!
great vid... the beards coming on aswell, you've been watching Vikings lol
Andy hello
Good video, I'm pleased the dead squirrels are being used instead of being wasted.
Keep up the good work. Cheers.
🤮
That’s a cool feeder, technology at work.
I'll be getting a couple of these. I'll be picking mine up as I live not too far away.
hello Andy,good work there mate that new feeder looks like a well designed quality item should last years nice one.maybe some Springer action soon eh! gotta love em! atb Dave
It's nice to see a young person that is responsible and doesn't act like most of them do when it comes to anything and everything. You're clearly respected hence being called into places to carry out pest control, thumbs up for sure and we'll done for not being a stereotypical young person. Even my 20 year old daughter dislikes people of around her age because of what the majority of them are like.
Do you do the pest control as a hobby or a business?
Last question 😊 Which county are you in? No real reason, I just wondered.
Nice one lad ,I live in the north west of Scotland where reds are supposed to be making a comeback but I’ve only ever seen greys,it’s good to see someone you’re age actually trying to remove an invasive pest to help repopulate native species
Great video mate keep it up
How do I get one of these feeders here in the states?
I find a flap/lid on the feed tray essential if you're using any peanuts in the mix, as every critter in the woods loves peanuts and will scrap the food out to get at them. I like 80% peanuts with the rest made up of small stuff that the tits and other birds like, this gets a bit of activity going on around the feeder, you also get bonus chances on things like jays and magpies if there is a bit of spillage laying around. Peanuts are like Crack Cocaine for squirrels. Happy hunting xx
Follow link in the description I’d like to know where I could get this feeder. Please advise.
Hi mate have you got a link I could buy one these feeders
Have you got a link to buy the feeder?
I'm guessing the two pieces of wood on the backside is so you can open the lid?
Great video. 👍
Am I the only one that thinks putting perspex on the front is great for knowing there is still bait left. I wish I could hit my feeders every day like this guy. Great video what distance do you set the feeders at? Cheers
Chris Peat yeah it’s an ok idea but I’ve just found that stray pellets can sometimes be a problem 😆 depends how you set them up I guess, if it works then cracking 👍🏼👍🏼 generally set at around 25 yards on my zero :)
Nice.. I made one that looked like a cabin with a front porch for them to sit on.. It will hold about 12 pounds of nuts..
How did you mount it mate? I had to adapt mine with a length of wood long ways, the tiny battens across the back give you no way of attaching to the tree!
Nice one mate you got a new subscriber atvb Jimmy 😎😎
does filling the feeder to the top make it hard to use the locking system, 9.27, did you have to take some out as it was neatly cut there.
Kris Karrouze Nah, worked fine bud, juest needed to bend the alloy back a bit to get it to latch on
Good video mate, can you buy those feeders?
Dean Daly yes mate, link in the description
@@andysrange8789 I can't see the link can you put it on again.
Rhododendrons are all over the place in Washington state here in the states the rhododendron is Washington state state plant
Be interested in getting involved with the Red squirrel protection in cornwall.
Good video pal is this wood on a pheasant shoot or a random wood that you get over spill of them or how did you choose this wood I'm in West Wales and trying to select places in my area to try and help cull the greys
If you go on the British red squirel web site, there is a map showing red squirrel conservation and grey squirrel control across the UK. There is defiantly projects in both north and central Wales. Alternatively contact British red squirrel. Good luck with shooting those greys
I have the same trap ive tidied my garden of squizzers. I shot one on camera on my channel.
do you know where you got your trap? i can't remember the name of the company :) cheers, i'll have a look at that shot bud
@@andysrange8789 i got mine off ebay, it looks like what someone built as a hobbie over a commercially made one. I have some commercial ones too they are no better or worse. I had two larger ones rabbit sized ones. Slighty different trigger.
Hi Andy love all you're RUclips clips. You are a very respected gentleman. I'm a 52yo from Shropshire a very keen airgunner I've been shooting air rifles for the past 40 years or so now. Unfortunately I've lost my permission now due to my wife recently passing & the land being sold off. So I have no where to go shooting a couple of rabbits pidgeons rsts etc I've tried a few local farmers but they don't really want to know. So just asking if you knew anywhere where for me as I seam at a dead end. Thanks Andy keep up the good work.
DEAR STEPHEN,,MICK FROM SURREY, IF YOU GO TO ASK FARMERS YOU NEED TO TAKE LETTERS OF OTHER PERMISSIONS, EVEN IF THEY ARE ONLY FROM HOUSE OWNERS, WHERE YOU SHOOT SQUIRRELS, LETTERS TO SAY VERY RELIABLE/SAFE, THEN JUST A CASE OF KNOCKING ON EVERY FARMERS DOOR TO ASK, EVEN GET LETTERS FROM FRIENDS YOU HAVE, TO SAY YOU'VE BEEN CONTROLLING THE SQUIRREL/PIGEONS/ >>RATS
ALSO JOIN BASC, THE SHOOTING ORGANIZATION, TO GET INSURANCE, AND SAY TO ANY NEW SHOOT, THAT YOU ARE FULLY INSURED, THEY LOVE THAT, AND IT MAKES YOU LOOK VERY PROFESSIONAL. MICK
Thank you for your reply mate much appreciated
I love the hw100. Where is your eaglevision side shot?
same here, at home on this day
Great job Andy. Keep up the good work, try to get every grey there is.
That crack you get when you know its a solid headshot!!
Yours will be next 😀
@@princessadora 🤣👍 mug
Excellent. That last squirrel looked the size of a small cat.
😳
Shame that costs went up so much that they stopped making these feeders :(
I cant find the feeders on there web site, are they special order?
mastermighty the cornwall red Squirrel Project site is on the process of being updated, you can get the feeders from www.squirrelmanagementuk.co.uk with a donation from each sale going to the project. Ian
Many thanks for the reply
Hi, Nice feeder but shouldn't the battons run lengthwise down each side to stop the feeder rocking and also allow the water to pass down the rear unobstructed good hunting the quicker we get rid of the pesky things the better, then we will have to start on other intruders the Parakeets .Cheers Tippo,UK.
What kind of trap is it please?
squirrel cage trap
Andy, can’t find the link, I want to buy some, can you help please, proud that I have reduced population of greys in Cornwall with my friends by 300, they all count. Squirrels ( greys ) go to the birds of prey sanctuary, Winnards perch.
Don’t think you can fill that much .
Didn’t looked like that lock works with that much feed
AirRiflePestControl lock worked fine, I just nneded to bend the alloy slightly to get it to latch properly :)
Andys Range don’t get me wrong they are and look good most likely.
Only fault I find is the lock .
And again how you gonna look at it .
Loosing a nail quite easy.
But would probably stop naughty kids messaging around 😂👌
I would just change the lock .
May i ask why you kill them?
I didnt watch through the whole video
Had a hw 100 nice rifle should of kept it my dump shit fuck of a brother talked me into selling it not happen again 👍
why would you want to harm them? whats wrong with you?
guess you have a computer? Try looking up squirrel pox, grey squirrels and red squirrels. I spend my summers killing Himalayan balsam, same reason invasive species causing havoc to the environment.
@@catscratchfever7540 you’re causing havoc to the environment
@@princessadora Get a life, snowflake twat.
Awful. How do you know that you're not killing a mother with babies still in the nest. I don't care what you're trying to help. Killing an innocent squirrel is unforgivable. Let nature take its course and stop intervening how nature works.
Oh piss off, don’t tell me what to do. Grey squirrels AREN’T NATURAL in England!!!! They do untold damage to our native wildlife, causing some species to the brink on extinction in this country. That’s unforgivable! Nothing innocent about them.
Don't take it to heart Andy. The trouble is most of the people in this country are detached from wildlife and nature and are poorly educated. Lambiepie, If you take the time to find how this species came to be in the UK in the first place and the devastating affect they have had on the British wildlife, you will realise why they are on the globle top 100 worst invasive species
@@andysrange8789 I spend my summers ripping up Himalayan balsam and winters rhody bashing, got my reward on Sunday in a pinewood in Fife where i saw 2 red squirrels. Well done you, these squirrels don't suffer and it needs doing.
We rehabilitate grey squirrels on our mountain here in the states but understanding they are native here they are not out of control. Lambiepie... if the squirrels aren't native to the area...they are a nuisance and I totally understand trying to eradicate the squirrels in UK. I think of the English Ivey that some idiot brought to our native forest and since it is not native...it is destroying our forest! so check yourself before judging this video.
@@fionatester1141 you’re a hick. You are brainwashed not educated
Horrible 😢😡
Emily Ratcliff oh dear :/ squirrel pox is horrible, preventing it, not so much
So horrible to take animals life.
You go and kill them without having any respect to a life. Thinking its a pest. Well humans took over their homes by building theirs. These poor animals being pushed out. And its never enough for greedy kind of humans. We all sharing this planet. Learn to respect each other including smallest creatures. Their life not less important than yours. If you think otherwise then sad.
Very sad.
I thought that to at first but the grey ones did take over and infest the red squirrels home first. Just trying to help the original red squirrels form going extinct. Their mutch smaller and weaker so it's only fair.
@@osianjames8148 it must be some other ways to protect red ones. Killing is horrible option.
