Minnesota in fall after leaves off same with rabbit was good, squirrel little tough. I have tried a hell of a lot worse wild animals hunting with dad back in days.Younger days, squirrels, rabbits you bet taste just like chicken
My father would trap squirrels in his town lot, and then drown them right in the little cages he would catch them in. Guy really hated squirrels.
I find my hatred more focused on bees in the fall, WTF
I ate cottontail once 30+ years ago, and the next day threw up in a fountain in the middle of a crowded restaurant...could be unrelated, but it sticks with me.
In the broke college student days we ate squirrel, cottontail and even muskrat twice. Squirrel is tough meat but fun to hunt.
