How do you actually get them on the line? Wouldn't they just let go instead of holding on? I don't get it.

That's the art of it. Generally they will let go. However, some squirrels will hold on if you do it just right. You lift the nut, and the squirrel lifts himself to get the nut, generally in the act of gnawing through the shell (or the line). Ocicat 22:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

It should be noted that folks in the country have been doing this since the invention of the reel. It is one of the best methods for untangling line by slowly reeling the squirrel in providing a nice resistance. Some of my earliest memories (albeit only about 24 years worth) involve doing this in our front yard. My point is that even though these students are the first published accounts of the activity, it is actually a far older activity. Das Nerd 01:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
