The only reason I have squirrels around my property is chili iand stew in a SHTF scenario. They are destructive to wiring and other items.
Yeah, but as soon as they get into another state they want to raise its taxes, increase regulation, and spread other communicable Californian diseases.
Illegal to kill them in this populous NE city, though they seem to like the rat poison i put out.
My grandmother made a delicious squirrel stew. I still have the cast iron pan she used. It never leaves our stovetop.

Years ago we lived in Milwaukee for a while, and the squirrels had nothing to do but run up and down the nut trees all day, so I knew that they would be good and tender if I could just get my hands on one, so I put some bread and maybe peanut butter in a birdcage, and tied a string on the door to make a homemade box trap, and finally caught one!!
Fried him up golden brown and delicious, with mashed potatoes and gravy, and hot biscuits - not as good as my Grandma made, but a wonderful treat for someone stuck in the city :)
