I want to know why the author shot the squirrel.
Did he eat it?
I wanna know why he got directly under the tree. Seems like you’d see more from a short distance. You’d have a better shot at a squirrel “pinned to a limb,” anyway.
I have never known a squirrel hunter who did not eat them. Mother used to chicken fry them.
They were OK but I liked chicken better.

Just a guess as the author didn’t specify. But in my younger
days we went squirrel hunting in the fall for the meat to eat.
We hunted with or without dogs
“Did he eat it?”
He better damn well have been starving and had to survive.
we shoot so many squirrels out over dogs its unreal. Feed them to the dogs. We eat them ourselves, we also eat raccoon and possum. We kill so many it hard to keep up. We have to freeze them. The farmers that pay me to clean varmints off their land sometimes take some to eat or feed to their dogs. We kill lots of stuff we do not eat. soooo
