I had em flying everywhere at camp today while on the riding mower. Trees on the border of the yard are loaded with them this year.

I fill a 5 gallon bucket half way with green nuts, add just a little water to lift about a inch off the bottom. Then a 4 foot 4x4 is used to mash them. takes about 4 to 5 minutes per batch. dump out and repeat. Wearing skinning gloves I put the hulled nuts in a pile. When all done, I wash them in the buckets then spread out to dry. The hulls are dried and put away for trap dying. To dye traps I use a wire fish basket, fill about half full with hulls, traps go in pot with basket dropped on top like a big tea bag.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
