Sit still and wait. Pop them as they start doing what aquirrels do.

There seems to be no hickory nuts at several places I have been this year. I have killed em all out of chestnut oaks or cutting black gums. I usually kill them slipping up old loggin roads looking for them in the trees. If your quite they will give themselves away.
