I must have 20 squirrels in my back yard living in the gigantic oak trees that produce millions of acorns.

I think squirrels really go by smell. I plant acorns every year in containers, not the squirrels and if I don't keep them covered with a screen mesh of some kind the squirrels will dig them and my black walnut seedlings up PO1 William "Chip" Nagel.

Cpl Vic Burk Maybe if you trap one... perform your taxidermy magic on it... then display it... they might leave your seedlings alone.

..."Ira talks with Lucia Jacobs, a professor in the department of psychology and the Institute of Neuroscience at UC Berkeley, about her studies of the campus squirrels—from learning about their cognition, learning, and memory to recording the acrobatic movements of a squirrel on the ground and in the treetops. Jacobs co-leads a ‘squirrel school,’ observing rescued and orphaned juvenile squirrels as they learn normal squirrel behavior, and is contributing to a project seeking to develop robots using agility tricks learned from the rodents."
