I had walnut trees growing up, we never got much because the squirrels always took most of them.

Funny you should mention that. It has always been my bane with these trees. When they first started producing, I got like 23 nuts lol. And the damn squirrels got the rest. As they matured (some have been in the ground for a few years), we began shooting the squirrels. Got one today lol. I’m sometimes conflicted about that as I love animals, but console myself with ‘stay out of my yard and we won’t have a problem’. Stupid, I know, but they and the gophers can just eff off. Disease carrying destructive varmits the lot of them.
