I have the exact same nut cracker. Wish I had a penny for every nut it has cracked.

Yep, it's that time of year again. I've got about a dozen of them dang black walnut trees. I HATE them. The crows seem to like to eat the soft meaty outsides, but I don't have enough squirrels to use up what's left over. Time to get out the shop vac, extension cords and loader. I usually get a dozen of so bucket loads, dumping them on the burn pile.

I just bought a nut gatherer for the large ones last night and tried it out. Works great. Like running a vacuum cleaner without the cords. Even my accountant likes it

Yeah, I've tried one of those. It does work okay, and the lawn vacuums don't. When I said "a dozen" bucket loads, I meant tractor buckets. I've got too many, to use the roller type picker-uppers.

I had issues several years ago with the walnuts as well so I contacted a local pest control person and put in a request for him to relocate a couple squirrels to my place the next time he caught a pair, They have been fun to watch gathering their bounty and bouncing from tree to tree till they tried to follow the power lines to the house then we had words which resulted in putting tin flashing 18 inches around where the power enters the house, only took 1 attempt for them ninjas to try and fail at gettin into the house, wish I had my camera out, other that they have been great at picking up the walnuts

A squirrel has been living here for a while. What it lives on I don't know. Have sycamore and pine trees and see ear corn stripped to the cob. I brought home a batch of walnuts the other to lay in the driveway for layman husking which by the way is very inefficient and busted him loading up on those walnuts

Five LARGE red squirrels have taken up quarters in trees by our drive, have been planting/burying walnuts like mad here.

You guys can keep the squirrels! I shoot every one I see. They bury walnuts in the garden by the truck-load and have blown the electric service to my house twice in the last year!!! That never ends well for the fury one.

If a woman shows up at the door, don't hold her at gunpoint?

Someone had to give the squirrel the single raisin? The old man hates squirrels. Did the old lady take the mean old man "out" and give the squirrel the last raisin? Hummm???:) Regards, Chris and Cheryl
