I think squirrels have a pretty wide range of travel and you would have to drive a considerable distance to take them out of their range. Tom is right about a lot of animals being territorial and if loosed in already occupied territory will not survive. We have seen a lot of television programs showing animals being reintroduced back into the wild. That really only works if the animal is released in an area where none other of its kind live and the time of release allows the animal to find/build shelter and food sources before winter dormancy sets in. A lot of people cringe at the thought of putting an animal down but overpopulation, even in the wild, is a cruel way for an animal to live and die.
