i have never thought about eating a ground squirrel, but show the pics and see how it looks and maybe ill try it

 

[ducky]

you can also put rattle snake in it instead of squirrel

 

[Randomshot]

Don't do it kid you want to live past thirteen right?

I think Random was referring to the rattlesnake being dangerous.

 

[ducky]

Ah ok
A 22 to the head will take care of a rattlesnake

Shovels work nicely too to depart the head from body.

 

[ducky]

yes that also works

I perfer a 12 gauge but even a knife and a stick work in a pinch. I'm with Jose I need to see pics. I've never eaten squirrel but this sounds spicy. I like it. Is this your own recipe?

 

[ducky]

yes its my own recipe
I even grow my own habaneros

No I was referring to the squirrels . Natures form of population control comes in the form of the plague which can be passed by the fleas on the squirrels or by handling plague infected bodies. Add that to the list of parasites that squirrels can carry and I can not see a reason to want to eat them unless you were in a survival situation.

 

[ducky]

that's very true
but it hasn't hurt me yet ;D

Two things;

1) How many ground squirrels does it take to get a pound of meat? I've eaten tree squirrel before and there sure isn't a whole lot of meat on their bones. I'm saying 6 squirrels to one pound? Just guessing.

2) I've shot ground squirrels with pellet guns, .22s, shotguns, .223, .30-06 and 12 gauge shotguns and not ONCE did I touch one. Let alone think about eating it. Randomshot is right dude, shoot them and leave them. WAY TOO MANY yuckies on them things to make getting sick worth it.

Stick with the rattlesnakes. At least that way you KNOW something is wrong right away!

 

[ducky]

you do have a point

This is why you shouldnt eat squirrels:

There should just be a statewide hunt to erradicate them all... Allowing them to be shot in state parks and ciry limits with low power weapons. This would help in my opinion.

 

[SoCalHunter]

I hear they taste like chicken! ;D

If its a Sidewinder i heard you could just pick them up and rip their head off. So I've heard
