A conversation I had with an elder. I found out the Cherokee, a band for which I could be a member, as my Great grand mother was a full blood, hunted squirrels with blow guns. (How many of you knew bamboo grew in Cherokee NC? But they don't have Pandas) but, I digress.
He said 12 squirrels = 1 chicken. Our Canadian squirrels are smaller than theirs. In the bank in Cherokee there was a man with a horrible rash on his leg, and I asked him about it. "I wandered into some poison oak while hunting squirrels in my shorts." I din't ask for any further explanation but the question comes to mind, why would anyone be hunting squirrels in their shorts?
I was staying in a KOA campground and mentioned to the elder I hadn't seen any small birds or squirrels. He said "If you see any let me know."
I think I know as much about squirrels as any human needs to know.
My guess as to why the gentleman was hunting squirrels in his shorts, perhaps he was just trying to protect his nuts.
