Mods, Not sure if this is in the right spot or not.. Feel free to move it to where it actually belongs.
I'm trying to figure out how to attract and keep squirrels and rabbits around my house and 3 acres.. We live in a rural neighborhood; (houses 30-50yds apart) and have an abundance of deer and squirrels around, I just want them close so I can hunt them if I get the desire. I've been putting deer corn around on stumps and logs in the backyard for the squirrels, and whatever else decides to eat it, but I would like to do more. I've got a brush pile next to one of the stumps I put corn on, brush piles down our path into the holler (woods). I figured that would attract bushytails, but so far haven't seen any. I've considered building squirrel boxes and putting them into trees around. We've got a couple oaks because I've seen the cut acorns.
Suggestions? Ideas?
