No need for that, Brent- I hunt squirrels (also woodchucks) because a very wise old woodsman taught me, in my youth- that "If you want to be a good deer hunter, first become a very good squirrel hunter". When he bought a new box of 20 shells for his Win. 94 .32 Special- you could figure on 20 dead deer-
I have had fried squirrel- also beaver, possum and raccoon in past years. All are vermin, in my lexicon, but if the meat is dressed out and aged properly- not bad- I just don't care for the bother it takes to skin out and field dress "tree rats"-- so I give my dead squirrels to the farmers--same with rabbits--
I don't hunt with a partner now-a-days--so I just sit in the shadows on an Oct. afternoon, and hunt them like a sniper- scoped .22 with CCI rounds- head shots only. One shot- one dead tree rat. RWTF
