Perhaps you can host a celebrity hunt-&-cook event?
Ted Nugent likes squirrel. Huckabee knows how to utilized a hot-air popcorn maker for squirrel.
Early editions of the "Joy of Cooking" have skinning and cleaning instructions.
OTOH, squirrel populations are cyclical, based on food. Big populations will put a dent in the growth of vegetation, meaning less food, and fewer tree rats the next few years, until the trees and bushes recover.
If you're really lucky, mass migrations of squirrels are not unheard of. Lucky, that is, if you are the origination, and the the destination.
Calvin, I live in rural MO. Went out today squirrel hunting - saw nothing. Been the norm lately.
I go to mother-in law’s house in Cook County IL, squirrels everywhere.
Obviously no hunting and predators there but I wonder if predators here in our area have been taking care of the squirrel population.
I will say this though. If moles were tasty and edible, I’d have food for years. Damn things are breeding like rats here.
