Just like he does with deer, my German Shepherd keeps squirrels off my property. But unlike deer, when the little buggers cross the path of my moving motor vehicle, I just keep driving.
I've heard they taste like game-y chicken, but I'd pretty much have to be in a survival situation to try them. I consider them rats.
Actually, if you cook them slow as to the recipe posted above, it makes a very good pie (maybe a little tangy).
naaahhh...
skin ‘em... gut ‘em... then throw the whole thing into a smoker...
just like eating a chicken wing....
They are the most destructive little creatures we have. The amount of damage they can do is unbelievable. I declared war on them years ago after they chewed the tops off of all the flowers in our newly planted flower boxes and destroyed wool shirts that were hung out to air. Since that day I've shot hundreds here on the property. The ravens, magpies and Bald Eagles seem appreciative of the free meals.
