Please come by.  You're welcome to a few hundred.  Last year my deer-hunting 
group harvested at least a hundred.  I didn't notice any difference in 
population.  Not unlike the deer.

Which is probably 'cause our walnuts, hickories, and oaks produce every year. 
 Certainly not equal every year, but never none.  This year is a bumper acorn 
crop.  Treacherous walking.  Fat squirrels.  I always leave some standing 
dead trees, critter homes.

What surprised me this year was the almost total absence of tomato hornworms.
