The squirrels in our pecan tree throw pecans at us when we come and go. I've had cats that like to hunt them and have seen squirrels knock them out of a tree. no exaggeration!

Squirrels are a pain in the rear and can chew into anything, however, bears can eat you. I'll take my pesky squirrels over bears any day of the week!

Our place up north has black bears. I had hung wash up on the line.Thank goodness no quilts at this time. I could not fine my camera. Year old bear tore off all the wash from the line and made a pile and I found him lying on top of the pile having a gay old time. Had to do the wash all over again.GRRRRRRRRRRR!

This is where I hang the wash

I have both - the ground squirrels are very destructive - the bears too - when my fruit tress ripen - they climb up in them and break the limbs - I don't mind them cleaning up what fell on the ground but I don't like them crawling up in the trees. I found that pounding some skillets together scares the bejeesus out of the bears - at least so far.
