    Cook a pair of squirrels by parboiling 50 minutes…they frying pan to brown the outside. A can of mushroom soup and slow cook another hour. Simply delicious. Plenty of gravy for your garden grown potatoes. Cost… two .22 cal. rounds and a can of mushroom soup from your storage. The skinning is a ‘trick’.

    I thought black walnuts were also native to North America. We also have wild hazel nuts are they also not native?

    Sorry folks, squirrels maybe cute but they are very destructive. Example: I have a very prolific peach tree but I have yet to harvest more that three peaches in any one year. The local squirrels take one bite when they are green and throw them down – wasted. They dig up my wife’s flowers, dig holes in the lawn and scatter their fleas whenever the scratch. Nasty wicked pests. I’d shoot them all if it were allowed in town. I’ve tried trapping them but they learned how to take the bait while holding the trap door open.
    I won’t use poison on them – too destructive to other species. I do encourage the local feral cat with occasional scraps of meat and that helps a little but not enough. I certainly will not swerve in the road to avoid them.

    I have a peach,2-apples and a pear in my back yard and haven’t had any fruit in years. Last year I went air and the population is five less. If I can’t have the fruit I can eat the reason. Skinning is much easer with two people, and I like pepper gravey on mine.
