Is your state (US) having squirrel death epidemics too?

In New England we have had more squirrels that have been hit by cars this year then ever that anyone can remember in history. It has been so bad that it actually made the news. They think due to our summer we have an overpopulation and some squirrels are diseased and not making great decisions hence the # of deaths.

I swear when I lived in New England the squirrels were downright suicidal and would wait until they knew you couldn't stop before making their move into the wheels of death.. Now I'm west coast and they just stalk you and terrorize your dogs.

It's insane up here in Maine. I almost hit three on the highway two days ago. I can't ever remember squirrels running on to the highway. I almost got one two hours ago, but luckily I was slowing down for a speed bump, nobody was behind me and I was able to stop.
I haven't noticed that in my neighborhood. I've seen fewer squirrels but that is cyclical because some years the oak trees don't produce as many acorns as others and there's a drop in the squirrel population.

You're lucky! I dodged 8 this morning in a 2 mile stretch and saw at least 5 dead.pinkbutterfly66 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 7:21 pm I haven't noticed that in my neighborhood.
