No matter what stand of nut tree you hunt, the squirrel will keep the leaf cover, large limb or tree trunk between him and you. Try using a squirrel call that emulates a juvenile squirrel in distress, or rub two coins together. Squirrel hunting presents a unique situation. It demands the use of our senses dulled by big city living, the patience of a long-suffering school teacher, the ability to see and hear the rustle in the tree tops and staying quiet for long periods. It also offers an excuse to be outdoors during the peak of fall foliage.
Red squirrels can eat certain mushrooms that can kill humans.
Besides acorns, nuts and pine cones, the squirrel dines on birds' eggs, hatchlings, buds and sap, and the bushy-tails themselves are an important food source for raptors. Go squirrel hunting for a tasty meal and a memorable day. The town clerk will present the tentative 1998 budget to the town board on Monday, Sept. 29, 1997.
