While I'm interested in rabbit hunting, I see regs on squirrel hunting and never considered hunting them.

Are squirrels hunted for pest eradication or as an actual food/harvest source? Guess I'm off to you-tube to see squirrel hunting videos and if folks are eating them?

thanks

Cook them with rabbit. They are delicious.

They are not a "pest" in the woods where they would be hunted, and no if they are eating your corn that is to bad[lol]. If not eating don't hunt them. Waste of good meat and IMHO unethical.

They are excellent to eat

squirrel stew is very good.

Skin, clean, cut me up, cook in a stew or in gravy and eat with dumplings, biscuits or corn bread.

Just like anything else you kill, you eat it.

If you can get past what they look like after you skin them, they are delicious.

squirrel pot pie is very good

Want and waste
Like mentioned above shooting them for fun in the woods is not pest control

Jed Clampett ate them all the time and he was a Beverly Hills millionair

Eat 'em, squirrels are delicious! I'll take them over rabbit any day!
