[TriEmbed] Twirl-a-squirrel article

[Jeffrey Crews]

For lower-tech and arguably less cruel fun, I've had a corn twirler on a
tree in the back yard. A piece of threaded rod extending from a tree trunk,
a wooden hub on a skate bearing riding on the rod, and four 90 degree lag
screws embedded in the rim of the hub. You just screw cobs of deer corn
onto the screws and watch squirrels dealing with the wildly rotating wheel
o' food.
