I have always found black walnut flavored squirrels to be quite tasty.

Truthfully, there is no bad ice cream.
Those yard squirrels eat about 100 lbs of my wife's birdseed a year and the yard rabbits ate my peas and green beans this spring. They may receive a future dinner invite from me.

I have a tree that produces a surplus every other year therefore I dye every other year. On the off year i boil in plain water and then wax. By the way, I throw 13 walnuts whole in each batch. Just crack the hull and toss them in.

Wish I had more time to trap....

I have 15 gallons of hulls/nuts picked up. Can they be stored and used next season, or do they need to be fresh?

No need to be fresh, they will work year to year.

I probably have well over 100 walnut trees on my farm and when the walnuts drop, it is hazardous to walk near the trees, both from the falling nuts and slipping on the nuts already on the ground. The nuts disappear amazingly fast. Probably from squirrels. Walnut husks are good for dying traps. That's all I have ever used.

I have made some mighty memorable rifle shots on squirrels in late winter in the walnut timber. You can spot them way out there and they are usually in the same place. Low down on a tree with his butt against the trunk. That walnut takes a good while for it to eat and you have lots of time to line up the shot and squeeze down. Yup! Memorable shots.
