Squirrel Cannon AKA Spud Gun
Description
The Squirrel Cannon article humorously recounts the author's struggle with troublesome squirrels and his creative efforts to deal with them. Frustrated by failed attempts using bamboo spears and slingshots, the author ultimately constructs a spud gun—originally intended for launching antennas into trees, but humorously rebranded by his wife as a "squirrel cannon." The article provides step-by-step instructions, a parts list, and a line drawing for building this practical spud gun, making it a useful tool for antenna enthusiasts while serving as an amusing anecdote.
