In Indiana it is against the law to translocate wildlife. And the folks 
whose back yard you may dump them may not want them more than you. Would you 
want them dumping the bushy tailed rats in your back yard? 

Dispatch them to squirrel heaven where they can enjoy their favorite foods 
forever without fear of being trapped again.

Steve,

My guess is no for the hickory and persimmon. Pawpaw might.

Well, I got what I expected. Lots of advice but no actual answer to my 
question. I'm not complaining, as I said, it's what I expected.

Yes, I'm sure that's true. The thing is, while squirrels have been 
taking every hazel not since the year my hazels started bearing they 
didn't learn to open and eat ears of corn until recently. About 3 years 
ago, one squirrel learned to eat corn from my garden late in the corn 
season. The next year a couple were doing it and starting earlier. This 
year, I came home after a 6 day trip to my family in Ohio and they had 
eaten it ALL. For over 20 years, I grew corn and the squirrels walked 
right by without knowing they were missing something good. This year, 
they also picked every single Nova pear while they were about half size.
My goal isn't to eliminate all the squirrels. My goal is to eliminate 
all the ones that know how to eat my corn and will teach future generations.
