I have searched but can't find the answer. Can you bait squirrels, rabbits or other small game?
Is it legal to shoot squirrels off a corn pile?

I think it's illegal to bait small game, Carl. Seems like I read it some years ago. You can catch them in a "have-a-heart trap" for removal from an area though.

I'm pretty sure you can. If its not listed as prohibited then I would think it's fine. Not sure how it would be any fun to hunt a squirrel off a corn pile though, lol.
It ain't fun shooting a domestic pig but it fills the freezer

I'm pretty sure most don't hunt squirrels to fill the freezer lol and domestic hogs aren't hunting game in the guide.

What are you, some kind of rabid animal who eats poor squirrels? Why can’t you get your meat at the store like everyone else?

Or a simple back yard bird feeder. There’s 4 squirrels at my feeder right now.
I kid you not. I had this conversation with a woman at work last week. She actually said that. "You don't need to hunt for food. You can just buy it at the grocery. "
Co-worker walked up and told her "Believe me....you DO NOT want to have this conversation with him."

Oh I know you’re not kidding. Some fools actually believe that meat is “made” at the grocery store. You can’t make that up.I kid you not. I had this conversation with a woman at work last week. She actually said that. "You don't need to hunt for food. You can just buy it at the grocery. "

My store doesn't sell squirrels.
It wasn't that though. She said there is enough domesticated meat available so I shouldn't have to kill wild animals. I asked her if it was OK if I tamed a deer and then shot it. She looked at me dumbfounded. She is a weird one
30-40 squirrels can fill a freezer and you mentioned fun...did not differentiate between wild or domestic.
And when I squirrel hunt I sure as hell kill them to eat, not just for fun. Otherwise I would just call it walking in the woods and leave my gun at home
