thanks for all the great advice will post pics tonight

Rem CB longs truncated cone , make sure there is no people out side the garage but honestly never had one on a good shot not stay in the squirrel and I have tested them on 2x4s and never had one not stay in the 2x4

problem is they don't seem to make them any more , CCI quite segmenting would be the closest thing available now I would test it on a 2x4 first but I expect it to be very similar they are both low 700s fps

a light on the gun really helps shooting into dark corners of the garage.

I gota squirrel out of a garage by putting peanut butter on the trigger of a 110. You'll manage.

Set a 550 so it has to go between the jaws and over the levers it should work like a body grip. Just loosen the pan and set it so has a short travel on the pan. Between 2 boxes against a wall with bait in the back and a couple crumbs before the trap. Should be a dead squirrel real quick.

Mom doesn't want it dead.

Rabbit boxes work great on squirrels, pretty easy to make as well. Won’t hurt them either.

If your mom likes it so much leave it alone. Pretty good chance she will change her mind after awhile.

I would set a 110 or 120 with a shotgun shell full of peanut butter on the trigger or put an apple on the trigger and smear with peanut butter.

Well ignore what I said if she wants it alive, I guess let it die and rot in the garage and maybe she will change her mind about the next one
