. I was at the Portage Golf Course last fall and took this picture of a pile of squirrel food being stockpiled for winter I do not golf I do not eat squirrels I go to the golf course because I can get bacon and eggs any time of the day ... 4 strips of crisp bacon , Idaho Russet potatoes grown in Manitoba , first baked then cooled , then shredded , then browned lightly on the grill , two real chicken eggs and two slices of toast. Plus 2 coffee , one with the meal and one to take outside for my after dinner cigarette ... that is when I took the picture There is actually a squirrel too , but he ran up the tree when he saw the camera , he figured I would post his picture on the internet and some guy from Idaho .... oops ... I mean Illinois might start drooling about fat Manitoba Winter squirrels It is an addiction they have and they will never change. ... |

. That smart squirrel failed to realize that helicopter pilots are pretty clever too , I took the opportunity to go back inside the restaurant for a turd cup of coffee and then lurked in the shadows till I caught him stuffing himself full of seeds from those pine cones. Hard to see but he is there on top of the pile Now I am wondering if that squirrel piled up those pine cones himself ... because the leaves are falling off the trees and the groundskeepers at the golf course are vacuuming everything up ... maybe that squirrel piled them beside the tree so the equipment couldn't get them I asked every single person there if they raked those pinecones into a pile .... they all looked at me weird and said NO .... I bet if I went digging in the snowbanks that pile of pinecones is still there And a fat squirrel up in the tree chattering at me , they come out to sit in the warm sun for a couple hours every winter day. .... |

. I tried to get a little closer to get a better picture but the squirrel headed up the tree I quickly snapped a picture .... because we all know it didn't happen if there are no pictures This is a true story except for one thing ..... that is a pretty small squirrel , not a fat one. Which just goes to prove that Manitoba squirrels stay skinny so that Idaho Potato Farmers and Illinois Corn farmers dont even un-holster .... they just drive on by and go shooting holes in paper targets in a heated gun range . . |

Arnie- I haven't told anyone the stuff that has happened that only you and I can verify. I just keep it to myself as it wouldn't be believed anyway. Life sure has been interesting. I feel like frying up a squirrel right now, but I am in the middle of framing closet walls in our room addition. Have you ever tried working with 2 squirrels in your belly? |

No , I came out of the closet years ago and I have never eaten squirrels . But I can verify a lot of the David Lafary story. The people will love it. Not to mention all the other neat things that happen around you , and the tentacles to me I have kept most of the notes and they could fill a small book |

. I am going to have to get a good camera and try to take some video of my back yard. It joins with the neighbors and their kids come out every day to spread food for the big wild Jackrabbits. They are about 2 feet tall when sitting and three feet stretched out on their back legs , they are people-shy and only come to feed at night then disappear at daylight. Until recently ... now there are two domestic type rabbits , small ones , the Hillberg - pet kind .... and they want some food too , but the big Jacks stand guard and wont let them come close ... trouble is the domestic bunnies are not afraid of people or sunshine and the wild rabbits sometimes have to stand guard during the day Then around noon the squirrel comes out of his tree hole .... he wants some too ... he will make about ten fake dashes toward the food and then jump back on the tree to see if the rabbits will come after him (they never do ) so he runs all the way , grabs some food and scurries back up the tree to eat it Entertaining to watch Here is a picture from a couple years ago ... in winter their fur ends up turning white like the snow . |

Arnie- I would love to fry up those squirrels for ya! I have shot them for years in my 16 acre woods and haven't made a dent in the population. The traffic gets a lot of them also. I have told this rabbit story before involving my dad who just passed away. One day he was sitting in his living room chair watching a rabbit in the front yard. All of a sudden a cat pounced on the rabbit and killed it. Dad put on his shoes , went out in the yard and scared the cat away. He brought the rabbit inside the house, skinned it, and fried it up in the skillet!.. Reminds me of Africa. Dad, the ol lion lived to be almost 94. |

Dad may have eaten the cat....but some things that happen in Illinois....stays in Illinois! Arnie- I was going to dry ice a dressed squirrel and send it to ya ......but the 9mm hole in it may have brought the authorities in if they randomly inspected the package. I didn't realize squirrels came from eggs? You serious Clark? I have shot and have eaten pigeons, and even fried up their eggs. I need to go check out a squirrels nest sometime for squirrel eggs. I am going to have to research squirrel eggs. |

Actually Stan, I think squirrels come from nuts.... not eggs.... That reminds me of a joke actually: Why did the squirrel float across the river on his back? He didn't want to get his nuts wet (the nuts balancing on his stomach I mean) not   I wonder if a flying squirrel can hover?

Madmuz- A flying squirrel can hover if it glides into a strong enough wind! We don't have gliding squirrels in my woods.....they just fall like a brick when shot. |

. The term road kill was invented by Polish immigrant railway workers in Canada. They were a hard working bunch and the first workers on the tracks in the morning ... because they could pick up the fresh "road kill" Rabbits , pheasants , ruffled grouse , sometimes even a deer ... wildlife the trains had hit the night before. The birds and animals practically lived on the tracks .... they ate the grain that leaked out of the boxcars. One day there was a dead cat and the section foreman convinced them it was a rabbit that had its ears cut off by the train wheels .... it was in the stew pot that night for supper. |
