I would have someone trap it if you can't shoot it. You really don't want them hanging around your house. They will eat anything wood, including your house. They like to eat the tops of trees where it's tender and will girdle the top, killing it. Also the risk of it meeting up with someones dog. Wildlife is cool, just not always in your backyard.

I hope it doesn’t come to that, but that hemlock is right next to my orchard area. He already had a little nibble on one of my peach trees. I doused them all with deer repellent to see if that keeps him away from them and so far it has. Not worried about the house; I don’t have any exposed wood on it. But I’d hate to lose any trees in my orchard.
