Nice having a couple of squirrel hounds. I've been thinking about getting a border collie and training him to keep the little devils out of the plantation. The plants, if they survive, will be on a 20' grid, so a dog should be able to patrol until the crowns start to spread. Last summer a pair of great horned owls lived nearby and kept the squirrels inside the woodlot canopy, but the blacks and reds picked every walnut in the woods without leaving the trees. Nothing but discarded hulls got to the ground. I was able to pick enough seed off the ground for the project, but I found most of them in the open fields over twenty-five feet from the hulls of the trees. Squirrels seemed to figure nuts that far from the tree were too expensive with the owls around. This project covers about eight acres and is a demostration plot for the International Plowing Match in September, 2007 at Crosby, Ontario. We'll be bringing visitors on horse-drawn wagons through the woodlot, into the fields where the walnuts, butternuts, and other plantings will be, and then back through another trail to the tented village to the west.
