Is that a fox squirrel or a ground squirrel? If a ground squirrel can you eat them?
Ground squirrel. I ain’t that hungry! just yet.
In that first pic it looked like a fox. Looks totally different in the second pic. I pretty game to try most game critters. Drawled the line at possum and armadillos. When I was a teenager and into my 20s We would carry grease salt and pepper and it was whatever you shot or caught was what you ate. I cant recommend woodpecker or blue Jay. Robin is edible and so is Gar and grinnell if it's hot. If ground squirrels dont carry plaque or something else bad I would probably eat one to see what it was like.
Yellow belly marmot..
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

Sheister I have heard that prairie dog can carry bubonic plaque. Does the yellow belly marmot carry any disease? I drew the line on armadillo because they can carry leprosy according to our old game warden. Never had the chance but I would like to try mountain lion, bobcat and lynx. If I ever kill a healthy fox I'll try it to

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

My hunting buddy for a number of years. Funny you should mention RDM. We'd listen to him from time to time on the way to the lease.
Now that I am an old fart, I use jack up feeders. However, back in the day it was 8' ladder,and then it was still lifting 50' corn sacks over head to fill feeders. Jamie was 6'7" and could lift a bag at least 8' high. I a used little giant ladder tied off to a feeder leg. We had a system. He'd pull the string to open up the bag, lift it 8'. I'd curl my left leg around a rung and the side of the ladder and as he was coming up, I'd grab the bag and in one motion I'd twist and raise it to the point where I could dump the bag in the feeder. Corn was $5 per hundred pounds bulk and we'd load three 55 gallon barrels full in this ol' Ford Courier bed trailer
we spent quite a number of nights filling the 10 feeders I had going at the time.
Tex. That is a ground squirrel .. Ted Trueblood, an old time writer, wrote about cooking them in a dutch oven.. I have the article some place.. They and chucks are clean animals.. No flees I ever saw on any of them.. That ground squirrel was a columbian I believe.. When I was a kid , I shot hundreds of chucks and my neighbors loved them..
