Way early, squirrels cutting Red Oaks

[cruff10]

I just seen 3 squirrels cutting a red oak tree acorns... This is July 25th, the acorns are a green as they can be, not very big either. This has me concerned. They must be really hungry!!!!I don't see activity like this for another 3 weeks!!!!

Something weird gong on.



Last weekend I also seen a hickory being cut. Half way opened, like it was being tested. About time for testing, but the redoak was being cut very heavy!!!!

Might just be a lot of squirrels this year. During the late part of the deer season there were squirrels everywhere. Saw squirrels everytime I was out. Not many people hunting them anymore so there may just be an abundance. I've not been into my usual squirrel hunting areas since January so I don't know what the populations are right now, but there were plenty in late winter. I bet we'll have a good season.
