We have hundreds of red squirrels that kill young nest bound birds but are too small to bother cleaning. A few blacks that I hope will multiply except that my neighbour loves their taste too......
The flying squirrels are just too cute to kill.

There is a Grey on my bird feeder eating freely and getting to be the size of a cat; he is little aware of the bigger plan. I'm hoping for 4lbs of meat for the crock pot :)
You should name him "Kenmore" or "Fridgidaire". That's what my grandpa would do... all the farm animals were names after the appliances that would someday contain them...Quote:

I collected 1/2 doz a few years back (never ate them before) and roasted them whole. Put them on a serving plate in front of a group of non-hunters. You should have seen their faces. Unfortunately they were very tough. I either over cooked them or cooked them without liquid.
Slow roast with liquid, very similar to rabbit.Quote:
