    Shit just got real at my house. A squirrel just jacked a peach off the wife's prized peach tree.

    The death warrant was just signed.
    My grandmother had fruit trees in Chicago along with a vegetable garden and a squirrel problem. She used a trap and drowned them in a 50 gallon drum. She'd cut the tails off and hang the tails from a tree. She had 27 tails hanging and the squirrels stopped coming around. It was the city of Chicago that told her to trap and drown them but that was in the late 60s.

    Brunswick stew.

    Farm Journal says: "You are sure to be in the South when you find this tempting and famous stew, but there's no reason why it can't be made in other areas. If squirrels are scarce or your hunters have no time to go after them, chicken makes a good substitute. The Brunswick Stew goes by different names. Squirrel Stew is one, and in some Carolina communities, it is called Squirrel Muddle. For a large crowd the stew is cooked outdoors over coals in a big iron kettle. A southern woman says that Brunswick Stew is the perfect way to serve a lot of people without a lot of fuss."

    Ingredients
    • "It makes a one-dish meal for the entire neighborhood."

    • About 70 squirrels, cut up
    • 2 large stewing chickens, cut up
    • 6 gals. water
    • 2 1/2 lbs. salt pork, chopped
    • 2 1/2 gals. butter beans(lima beans)
    • 3 1/2 gals. cubed peeled potatoes
    • 4 gals. chopped peeled tomatoes
    • 1 gal. cubed peeled carrots
    • 2 1/2 gals. freshly cut corn
    • 1 gal. shredded cabbage(optional)
    • 1 pod red pepper, chopped
    • 3/4 c. black pepper
    • 1 3/4 c. salt
    • 2 1/4 c. sugar
    Directions
    Clean, dress and cut up squirrels and chickens. If your folks are not ardent squirrel hunters, increase the number of chickens. If you use all chickens, this recipe will take 24 stewing chickens.

    Bring 4 gals. water to boil in 30-gal. iron kettle. Add squirrel and chicken pieces. Cook, stirring often, until meat comes off the bone. (Take out pieces of bone before serving to small children.) Add remainder of water, as needed.

    Chop salt pork, fry out and add pork and drippings to boiling mixture. Add beans, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and corn in order as each is prepared. Continue cooking and stirring until vegetables are tender.

    Add cabbage and seasonings, and cook, stirring, 1 hour, until stew is thick and flavors well blended. Remove kettle from coals to serving area by hooking handle over a heavy pole, several helpers carrying each end. Makes 15 gallons.

    Yeah, when we 1st got to this house, prev. owners had had 23 cats & 2 loaded peach trees. We've been here over 10 years & have evolved (in a Darwin-approved way) to a cat-free yard which leaves the peaches for the dam squirrels.

    Squirrels aint to smart.

    I have told this before, I bought a bird feeder that was so squirrel proof, it was called Squirrel Proof.
    Not too long after I bought it, I went outside and it took me a second to realize that there was a squirrel inside the feeder.
    I tried to get a picture as I thought it was stuck inside, but before I could come back with my phone, it was gone.

    We saw Rabbits around the garden. I need to set some traps. Just not sure what a rabbit might want to eat badly enough to enter the trap.
