Now I will clean it.

English squirrels look a lot like American Greys. Are they closely related?

Disregard: a quick Google tells me they are US Gray Squirrels... that are invasive

 

[Trigger]

Invasive there I think.. it's a problem from what I heard.

There are America squirrels There.

There are millions of them and no closed season.
I shot 15-18 last weekend, I forget as I don't count anymore.

Do you eat them all?

You guys HAVE to try Squirrel Taco's. If you season ( taco seasoning) and throw them in an Insta Pot (or any pressure cooker) The meat falls off the bone and is nice and tender. Put that on a nice warm corn tortilla street taco style. SLAP YO MAMA GOOD. I do Rabbit like this too. Even my younglings wear them out made like that.

I meant not me. If I fire it, it gets cleaned that day. You are right that rust can be removed, I just don't like it on my guns. I am all for each individual doing what works for them, but my OCD won't let a dirty muzzle loader stay that way overnight.

If you are OCD then I am as well! I wouldn't be able to sleep if I left my rifle dirty! I am the same way with my modern rifles as well. It takes the ,"I wonder out of the equation"!

I'll have to try it out

No.
I use to cook a few but they are just a pain to skin.
Yes, I've seen all the videos.
Rabbit, hare and pheasant are a lot easier!

One year I counted them and it came to 440 something. Mostly shot with 22.
Last year I shot 60 something in my back yard.

Yeah.. that's a lot of squirrels... IIRC They can bounce back from an annual population reduction of over 90% so eradication is nigh on impossible.
