"They are edible, just don't get an old one. You can boil them all day and they're still something akin to eating a pot of rubber bands."
I grew up in Oklahoma eating squirrel and dumplings (like chicken and dumplings). I married a Louisiana man so now I prefer squirrel gumbo. We've got a lot of them here in Southwestern Missouri, but my husband never seems to have time to knock a couple down for me to cook.
It's rainy and cool here today. A big pot of gumbo would really hit the spot!
