Maybe the razor clippings will have enough odor, but best bet would be go to
a barber shop, or better, a beauty salon.  They have plenty of hair clippings.
Put them near the base of the branches so the squirrels would have to cross
them to get to the fruit.

I don't know about the receipt for squirrel stew however.  I never gave or sold
anyone squirrel stew so of course nobody ever gave me a receipt for it :-).
(Would it be tax deductible?).  Fresh apricots sounds like a difficult medium
to write a receipt on anyhow :-).

Oh.... you mean RECIPE!  Ask in net.cooks.  (Probably any good rabbit stew
recipe would do--they are both rodents, as are also rats and mice.)
