Illegal to kill them in this populous NE city, though they seem to like the rat poison i put out.
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 :)
