Eaten squirrels most of my life
Are you a member of Food, Glorious Food? I'm bringing this topic over there. Squirrel recipies and techniques.....
Well I'm sure y'all will be surprised to hear that I grew up in Kansas on squirrel, rabbit, fish, pheasant, quail, and tons of dove breast. If my brother hadn't been a successful hunter/fisherman, we wouldn't have had meat on the table. I hated it tho, cause I love all animals too. I won't ever order it in a restaurant.
I don't know about "solid white" (I'm guessing it was photoshopped off a Tuna can) but some of us do like eating squirrel...(S)he don't look to white to me...
I brake for squirrels, too. Also, other animals. Sometimes I get out of the car and help a turtle finish crossing the road.
I was just talking about that to a friend.
Here in north Florida we have the gophers. When it is mating season they are all over the place. I have stopped so many times to guide and make sure they get to a safe place.
But the one I was talking about is the pig nosed turtle. They are so adorable. I spotted one completely lost and about to cross a very busy county road. Not sure why, since those guys usually stay in the water. He was so small and low to the ground, I could see in his eyes that he couldn't even make above the grass leaf. Little less a whole car.
