Here in the Terlingua desert we have rock squirrels. Tunnel-dwellers. I've seen them grab and kill baby quail. Not a common event, but it does happen. I periodically step out with the 20-gauge and do a little population control.
If your squirrels have come to identify a "stick" with Bad Things, why not try poking the barrel through a shirt sleeve, with the stock through the other sleeve? That might give a whole new meaning to "Laundry Day".
