I used to do something very similar with thirteen lined ground squirrels at a golf driving range in Salina, Kansas during the mid- 1950s; that was before plastic milk bottles were in use. Milk was sold in reusable glass jugs. The driving range was isolated from reinfection, as it was surrounded on all sides by a children’s playground, businesses and housing areas. I would carry buckets of water out to the holes, pour it in, and then grab the ground squirrels around the neck (got bit a few times too). The ground squirrels were then permanently “relocated”. Oh, to be a kid again! Note to self- Engage brain before opening mouth (or hitting the ENTER key/SUBMIT button). Ron Fry

I have no idea of the who or where, in that video, but I thought it was pretty funny. When I was in grade school (50 + years ago), we had a long handled water pump in the school yard and a bucket. Recess was a lot of fun in those days. Charlie Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and enthusiasm. NRA Life Member ~ GOA Member ~ NFOA Member ~ UNMLA Member

Seems by 1949 no one used a buggy or rode a horse to school any more. The amazing thing is, we probably have 25 times more people, but 100 times more wildlife now than we did in the early 50s.
