Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Does one type of squirrel taste better than another?

Oh how I love limb bacon!!!! We grew up on it here in the Ozarks and I have not lost my taste for them. To my palate the grays have always been the better of the two. Especially the young ones taken in May/June and the next littler in October/November. We are blessed that we have the longest squirrel season in the nation here in Missouri. Runs from Memorial Day weekend in May through Feb. 15 following. Ain't much better than squirrels and gravy along with fried okra, smashed taters an' bakin' powder biscuits!! I'll certainly eat a fox squirrel but they aren't my preference.
