Sunny day squirrel.

[Britsmoothy]

It was quite hot today for April.
A spare couple of hours had me reaching for a flint gun.

A nice walk was had and a squirrel found.
Jess loves squirrel hunting.

If I was a squirrel I'd be thinking that you are a real bastar*! But since I am not, excellent work and great looking gun.👍

It's not fair; you getting all the success. Aaaarrgh...! It intimidates me! :v:

Don't want to hijack, but do squirrels taste different depending on their environment?

 

[Britsmoothy]

I have found that so.
The spring and summer time I don't like them.
Winter is best in my opinion.

Not because of their environment but what they have been feeding on. Mast crops, oak, hickory, pecan and such yield the best flavored meat. If they are feeding on wild cherry or fox grapes, which are bitter, not so much.......robin

The squirrels around here like to eat the seeds out of the hedge, (osage orange), balls. Wonder how that makes them taste..? :hmm:

Try em!!!!

You can bet they do. And it really is dependent upon what they're eating. Same with possums. Best to catch 'em alive and feed them for a while to get rid of any weird taste they may have picked up.

ff dunno but squirrel but here in AZ I have noted big game has a different taste based on diet (hi mnt or low sage). Believe I like the sage bucks n bulls best myself.

Try em!!!!

Might just do that come fall...
