Hickory that is. They go well with longbows and squirrels.

Brought some home to dry. Ummmmmmmmmm.

In these parts the shagbark has more meat than the smoothbark hickory. Either one has excellent meat though. And the squirrels have already worked out on some of the trees before the shells hardened.

George,

If your having to gather afew to bring home, then I must be sitting on a gold mine at my house. My yard is full of Hickory and walnut trees. I picked up a bag full of walnuts last fall for my own use. After the snow came I felt sorry for the squirrls and started laying out afew each day. It was fun to watch them act like they were hiding when I would take afew out for them and then watch them race each other to see who would be the first on the pile once I was back in the house.

Troy, actually I have shagbark hickories thirty yards from my backyard, and these were just down over the hill from my home. I picked these up because there were already deshelled from the fall and there were hundreds of them.

I have three pignut (bitternut) hickories in my backyard, but they are bitter to the taste and not fit for baking. This is a banner year for all fruit and nuts in Pennsylvania; heavy spring rains and then lots more during late summer. Nature takes advantage of such things. Pretty cool.
