Squirrel FishingHuge amounts of cheap fun can be had by fishing for squirrels. When I was at uni I lived in a hall of residence on the 3rd floor, and we had a balcony overlooking a big field. What we used to do was throw out bits of bread to attract a few squirrels. Once we had a few likely candidates we would get a big bit of string and wrap one end tightly around a piece of tracker bar, then entice the little critters to try and bite it. Once we had a bite we could actually lift the squirrel a fair way off the ground by it's mouth. They really don't want to let go! We even managed to place one gently onto the balcony below us. They flap about like mad when they're hanging from the end of the line!
