Get a hog. Turn them acorns into some pork.

Good idea!

EDIT...

Heck ... making squirrels isn't very useful...

(1) If you're getting them this year, you won't have them next year (usually a two-year cycle).

(2) Collect them, crack them, soak the kernels, pour off the water, soak again and pour off.

(3) Roast. They're bitter if you don't soak them, but they're reasonably ok if you do.

If you were very patient you could tame some of the squirrels, and then have a permanent passel of outdoor pets.

Killing and eating squirrels was very useful, ---

During WWII, when pork was rationed, we ate a lot of home canned squirrel.

Tasted like chicken.. IMS... ;)

Not only are they bitter, but they will probably make you sick as hell from the tannins.

I once made some acorn flour as an experiment. I boiled the acorn kernels a couple of times. I then let the kernels dry, and pulverized them. I made pancakes with the flour. They weren't bad at all. I'd probably never do it again. It's just too much trouble.

Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president

Would've been easier to just raise chickens.... besides, squirrels don't lay eggs.

At one point during the war, we probably had over 100 chickens, and believe me, that ain't easy.

But tell us Willy, - you ever tried anything difficult?

...Nutz...

I remember when I was a boy my father raising corn.
The squirrels would shimmy (shinny?) up and grab an ear,
the stalk would fall over, and then the squirrel would
run off and eat it.

Except the one time that my dad was so pissed off at
the squirrels that he hurled a big rock at one of them.

Missed the squirrel, but took out a whole row of corn! LOL!

Horses die from eating acorns.

People with normally operating taste buds just won't eat enough to kill them: it's too hard.

Crack 'em, soak 'em twice - roast 'em or grind 'em into flour and cook them as hotcakes, and eat em.

The Cree lived on them as their grain.

The Apache made a stew of them. If you take acorns (duly soaked) and you cook them up with meat and fat and vegetables, it's nutritious.

If you have an oak tree, a maple tree, a pine tree (NOT hemlock or yew!), and the weeds that grow around them, you're a long way from starvation - and that's without eating any bugs.

You get acorns from the oak: that's flour. Bland but nutritious. You get beans from the maple spinners. They're not unlike edamame, though smaller, and they're nutritious like green beans. You make pine needle tea from the pine needles. Just a cup of that and you have the equivalent of three oranges' Vitamin C.

This is not a delightful diet, but if you've got big trees around, there's usually something edible from them, and whatever that "something" is, the tree has it in large quantities.

Of course, if you're not living in a zombie apocalypse, getting your pancakes from Aunt Jemimah, your minerals from French green beans (with butter), and your Vitamin C from oranges is really much tastier.

The Cree and Apache still have the oaks growing, but they have Aunt Jemimah in their cupboards too.

Some natural foods (blackberries, raspberries, salmon, morels, corn) are wonderful. Others...well...they'll keep you alive.

Acorns will help keep you alive.

They DO make a very tonic tea. Not to drink. Soak those acorns and take that dark tannin water, and soak your boils and wounds in it...and you will find that it speeds healing dramatically.

Oh, and pine needle tea - THAT can be really good. At Christmas, take a handful of your white pine Christmas tree and pour boiling water on it. Let it steep and put in a touch of honey. It is stronger than a Hall's cough drop, and really very, very refreshing. And it makes you feel closer to your tree, and makes it seem like less of a waste. Also, it really strengthens you against getting colds.

If you're retired, take the time with the squirrels.

They're curious, and they get tame. And that's kind of fun. In theory squirrels could get rabies, but in practice they hardly ever do. Foxes and skunks and bats - they have rabies a lot, but to get rabies a squirrel would have to get bitten, and how is THAT likely to happen?

So, sit in your yard reading or doing your think, and toss goodies to the squirrels. Lure them in closer and closer, get them to eat from your hand. You can get them comfortable with you, and then you really can go outside and play with the squirrels. And squirrels are so excellently berserkly nuts, that it's fun when they're coming up and running all over you.

We got all of those also... plus way too many pine cones.

This Spring I'll ship you all of the chipmunks that you want.
You didn't REALLY want to grow tomatoes, did you?

A few of the pine trees died and/or were cut down.
No prob...

We are coming up on oak / maple leaf season.
So there will actually be a problem...

I haven't seen any chipmunks in a coon's age... I don't think they have 'em down here in Texas... maybe it's too blasted hot for 'em just like it's too blasted hot for the tomatoes... the tomatoes get thick/tough skins on 'em just like leather so I gave up on trying to grow them...

It would be nice to move back north of the Mason-Dixon line so's I could grow tomaters again... but then I'd have to shovel the snow and I don't think I can manage that anymore.
