I remember when I was a boy my father raising corn. The squirrels would shimmy (shinny?) up and grab an ear, the stalk would fall over, and then the squirrel would run off and eat it.
Except the one time that my dad was so pissed off at the squirrels that he hurled a big rock at one of them.
Missed the squirrel, but took out a whole row of corn! LOL!

If you're retired, take the time with the squirrels.
They're curious, and they get tame. And that's kind of fun. In theory squirrels could get rabies, but in practice they hardly ever do. Foxes and skunks and bats - they have rabies a lot, but to get rabies a squirrel would have to get bitten, and how is THAT likely to happen?
So, sit in your yard reading or doing your think, and toss goodies to the squirrels. Lure them in closer and closer, get them to eat from your hand. You can get them comfortable with you, and then you really can go outside and play with the squirrels. And squirrels are so excellently berserkly nuts, that it's fun when they're coming up and running all over you.
