Does anyone know what squirel tastes like? Just curious.

We had a squirrel in our house about 6-8 months ago. We borrowed a humane trap, the little guy walked right in, and I let him out across the street.

I posted about the whole thing in my journal

Mr. Squirell has be rescued! The exterminator came. He was in the room for awhile and there was lots of banging around going on in there but he got him successfully into a release cage. He is about 3 months old according to the exterminator. Same age as my puppy. Go figure.

Awww...no wonder he was so scared. He was a baby.

I have squirrels in the attic and they make so much noise, it's unbelievable. It sounds like they are playing basketball up there. It confuses the cats when the squirrels start fussing with each other chatter chatter chatter.

Actually, I do. When I was little I used to love to eat squirrel. My daddy would go squirrel hunting and my grandma would use it to make biscuits & squirrel meat gravy. Mmmm it was my favorite meal!

Although, somewhere along the lines I figured out what I was eating and I haven't had it in about 20 years.

It tastes very....gamey. That's the only thing I've eaten other than chicken, turkey, or beef (never had deer or lamb) so I can't really describe it to you I guess. But it's kinda' slimy too...depending on how you cook it.

ETA: Actually, Russ, that story made me very sad. It made me think of my grandma. She's not doing too well right now - they don't think she's going to live through the summer. :( She's 91.

I had a squirrel in my apartment this past fall.. We got a brand of traps called "Have a Heart." These traps don't hurt the animal. ALl we did was put a saltine with peanutbutter in the trap and the squirrel fell for it!

But co-sign with the above about the humane traps and calling animal control. Those are the safest bets. :)

Will there be justice for all the hazing those little guys do? :( :confused:

Sorry to hear about your grandma.:(

Never getting over a break-up shows a seriously bad coping mechanism. You would think Darwinism would kick in and they wouldn't be allowed to breed.
