Went to Dee Lake for a camping trip this weekend with the family and while out scouting around for grouse, I happened (of course) to see lots of squirrels. Now to me, these guys are no more than rats with furry tails, and according to BC regs, fair class C game, so I plugged a couple. As it turns out, some people don't like that, SURPRISE! Now what really got me was, the lady running the resort would have been MORE than happy to have me sit and shoot chipmunks all day, but leave the squirrels alone. Didn't really make much sense to me (and they are not mentioned in the regs at all, so I consider them as off limits). What are your thoughts on shooting either of these animals?
For the record, I don't typically shoot animals I don't intend to eat, unless I consider them a nuisance animal, even then I try to find SOMETHING constructive to do with the carcass, squirrels, unfortunately don't have much meat and the pelt carries no value, so I leave them for the coyotes.
