Chick-fil-A and even Popeye’s chicken beats the Colonel hands down.

We’ll tell them how to deal with the gray squirrel if they will tell us how to deal with those $#&*@#& starlings.

Is Southern-Fried Squirrel the Answer to KFC's Extraordinary Chicken Shortage?

How about a bucket of Kentucki Fried Lizard Partes.

Posted before about my fellow Marines from the south that bragged about killing rats and selling them as squirrel in the darker parts of their small towns.

Dunno, but they are both rodents, so once in the stew...............

Every year I have to spend a few weekends with my pellet rifle plinking the new herd of squirrels seeking new turf / trees. They eat all my fruit, berries, tomatoes, and figs. Not to mention attic damage.

Nothing the matter with good squirrel if cooked right.

So cute! At the risk of boring people, these are my squirrel FRiends. The first I think is a gray hybrid, think I saw a pair of smaller less interbred last year. It's name I hope will come to me; it had to do with the kink in its tail IIRC. Taken in April 2003.

The next is what I think is a red squirrel, not sure, a little less pure. I had one with a more golden tail and named it Goldie. Our red squirrels have disappeared now the last few years haven't seen any at all. Taken September 2006.

And the last one for tonight is an example of be careful what you wish for. I made friends with many of them, some get more trusting than others. I had wished I could teach this little black one to knock on the door. This is as close as I got but it sure got my attention. I named it Flag because it had a white tip on it's tail. I either eventually lose them in the street or they disappear. Taken May 2003.

I would never purposely hurt or knowingly eat one.

I'd hit that! As a matter of fact, I have many times when I was young.

My first thought is that it is better than Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal.

Squirrel is good eating, and they provide good marksmanship training.
I prefer fox squirrel just because they’re bigger and fatter... but greys are more plentiful.
Mom would fry them and then bake them in a light BBQ sauce with beer.

One of our friends recalls his mom making squirreletti witht he ones he brought home.

Mighty huntress.

Gonna be pretty hard to kill squirrels with a butter knife.

Been eating squirrel all my life. I was raised in Oregon starting in 1950 and ended up in Texas by 1956. My father was a hunter and most of what we ate came from hunting. Elk, deer, antelope, lot’s of rabbits and plenty of squirrels. Ate turkeys, quail, dove and even feral pigeons found out in the pastures. Now we tend to eat a ton of venison (Wife and I can go through 3 deer a year) depending on whether either of us get an elk. We also eat quite allot of feral hogs (sub 100 pounders). Still love my quail and rabbit and a good meal of fried squirrel is always a treat. Even though I’ve been ranching for about as long as I’ve lived in Texas I still rarely eat beef. About the only thing we go to town for is household good and veggies. Never been much of a farmer but I am putting in a pretty good size garden this year, wife wants to take a shot at canning. My storm cellar is 20 x 22 ft and should we actually need it for a tornado we won’t need that much room. I’ve started building shelves for the canned product. Back on the subject of squirrels this area doesn’t have a ton but they do need to be thinned out from time to time. Break out the pan!

If your gonna fry squirrel, ya have to marinate it first. Either way, it's all muscle. They are gymnast.
