I used to look forward to the first day of squirrel almost as much, if not more than deer. rain or shine. i would hunt all day or long enough to get my limit. kind of lost the passion so to speak within the past 5-6 or so years. still get out 2-3 times a season. usually don't even take a shot. everybody talks about how great squirrel is. eh. i eat them but i wouldn't order them at arbys.
Young of the year are good battered and fried. Older ones make good squirrel gravy and biscuits. I don't like them as good as cottontail but they are tasty if prepared right.
