Squirrels....

Eating squirrel is definitely a midwest-eastern US thing. Not too many of those critters here in the Arizona desert! Dove, yes. Quail, yes. After that I guess it moves up to javelina and deer. (Who wants to eat coyote? Not me!) Even in the AZ high country the squirrels are relatively puny things.

Growing up as a city kid, I never was much of a hunter. I did shoot birds for a couple of years, but if civilization crashes some day I'm going to have to team up with someone if my family is to survive.
