Haven't seen this before & was able to snag a couple pics so I figured I'd throw them up here. I guess that's one way to travel

Great pics!!!
A long time ago my Dad had a bunch of bird feeders and the squirrels kept getting in them so we tried many ways to keep them out (none of which worked) but one was to string a small wire between two trees and hang the bird feeder in the middle. Well the squirrels would shimmy the wire and drop in on the feeder. Serious tightrope walkers! I even tried two wires and a fence charger but that didn't stop them either.

Elusive North American BBQ Snipe!
Prevelant in all states due to hybridization of smoking techniques throughout the world. Recent studies have shown they are more likely to appear in location of really good Q and a combination of good comapny and good food. Most likely attracted to the delicious aroma of finely cooked meat. Our regional emergency response system reccommends all good Q be brought to Tulsa to be rapidly consumed by local inhabitants so as to mitigate any opportunity for infesation. The only immunization known at this point is small to medium lead particles imparted at said target at a very rapid rate to minimize spread of infestation. If you find yourself in immediate approximation of said alien, we reccommend throwing empty aluminum containers at subject and loudly voicing disdain towards opponent collegiate team mascots. DO NOT APPROACH SAID CREATURES! They are viscious and will not deter they habits without being offered another helping of good Q. DO NOT OFFER FRESH VEGETABLES as that will only increase their aggression.
We repeat, send all good Q to Tulsa, Ok for immediate disposal as this may be your only hope.

No recipes but I can get you some from my grandmother - there's not much off limits there
Thanks! Yeah squirrels are really persistent. I know a few people that struggle with them raiding their bird feeders - seems to be no easy way to stop them...
This isn't a new pic - it is from last fall. I snuck up on these but the last one spotted me so I couldn't get any closer...
But this is yesterday
Picking through one of the cornfields. There were 4 or 5 more but I didn't get the camera in time to catch all of them...

Another thing I had never seen before & was lucky enough to come across...
I was gathering these up & found this little guy going to town - I left him have it...
This guy lives in a friend's garage

Some of those animals represent a Live and let Live situation...BUT...Squirrels are DELICIOUS! I have not had them in years but when I was in my teens friends and I would go small game hunting and Grandma would Braise the Squirrels and Rabbits in Tomato Sauce then pour the whole deal over Polenta or Pasta. Really great and I would bet Smoking them first would only make the sauce better...JJ

No. The cinder blocks stop them from digging under the wire fence. The feeder is a made of 4" black ABS pipe in the shape of a giant "L" with the top of the pipe removed on the short leg of the pipe. The upright part is feed storage.Are the cinder blocks feeders?

Morels are awesome. I can see why the snail is eating it. Even the lowliest of creatures can have sophisticated tastes...

Wow that's expensive! I've never seen them for sale in stores around here I just gather them up in the woods.Morels are awesome. I can see why the snail is eating it. Even the lowliest of creatures can have sophisticated tastes...
If they didn't taste so freaking good a fellow could make a pretty penny selling them at those prices...
