David_218 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I don't know about other areas of the country, but here in Southern Indiana, we had a VERY POOR Mast crop for the Squirrels going into Winter. I think that it would be a Humane effort if all us Squirrel Hunters, here in SW Indiana, would help the Squirrels by supplying some whole corn and other seeds for them to eat over the winter season. My experiences, in the past with low Mast supplies, has been a VERY POOR Squirrel Hunting, the following season. So spend some extra money and help the Squirrels out. PLEASE!

David_218 Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Re: PLEASE FEED THE SQUIRRELS [ QUOTE ] Nice suggestion, and 50lbs of whole corn does'nt cost very much at your local elevator. Either that or go to a foodplot on public ground and grab a few ear's to put out for them. [/ QUOTE ] I feed the Squirrels and Deer about 50 pounds of shelled corn per week. More when the weather is extra bad like now. We have 20" of snow on the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: PLEASE FEED THE SQUIRRELS Yeha my dad has 3 barrels of corn stocked up and bird seed. We had about 100 out today. My father made paths from bird feeders to woods, so the tree rats would have a easy way in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: PLEASE FEED THE SQUIRRELS We had one of the largest mast year I can remember--tons of acorns and tons of pecans. I think my tree rats will be fine. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
