Some times I tell people while thier eaing it.. They will not believe it is a real animal.{Kinda like a spam animal} Rabbiit, squirell, varmit, it taste like chicken. They i think are considered rodents. They do resemble rats very much

They are clean animals though

I will have to look for the coyote urine also.

Thanks for the input guys!!

Yea!
They can make you that mad..
Gets expensive fixing crap they tear up!
The wife I had didn't want me to kill them..
I tried to explain to her , that the tree rats wern't smarter than me. They had 24/7 to calculate their stratagy. The woman is gone. I pop one every time it starts getting daring and crosses the line
Thats the only time they taste good is when they **** me off

Shoot them and eat them. If you are going to all the trouble, make it worth while. My Grandmother made the best squirrel and dumplings... MAN I wish she was still around to teach me how to make it.

Anyway, like someone else said, get a pellet gun, pump it up a few times, and let loose.

LMAO!!

Thanks for those pics!! Squirrels are just naturally funny critters, I always like seeing 'em photoshopped.. LOL

They taste nothing like chicken..

Here's a simple recipe..

For two people you'll need 4-6 squirrels

clean the rodents and quarter them

chop 1 cup carrots
1 cup onions
3/4 cup celery
2 cloves garlic
1 12oz can of diced tomatos
2 cups (16 oz) of chicken or vegetable broth
3 tbsp of olive oil

2 cups of flour seasoned with salt and pepper in a zip-lock bag.

Mix the flour salt and pepper and tree rat parts in the bag

Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat

Once the oil just begins to smoke add the coated squirrel parts, brown on each side, just til brown on all sides then remove.

Add the onions, celery, garlic, carrots, reduce the heat to low and stir until they're sweated.

Add the broth and diced tomatoes, stir to blend and de-glaze.. when it starts bubbling again put the tree rat parts back in.. cover the pan and cook over low heat for another 20 minutes.

Poor little cute little squirrels never tasted so good!

goddam squirrels

just make sure you get all of em out you dont want rotting flesh in your walls .Ithink squirrels have babies in the spring but you want to make sure theyre all out before you seal up the hole with aluminum or wood or both. I actually seen squirrel chew through aluminum but if they dont know that there is access on the other side they should tryit a nest on the other side really gets em going. And yes they will come back if you give them a chance.

I didn't read most of this thread, but I agree 100%. F---ing squirrel killed my best companion and love of my life. My westie got loose from my wifes leash chasing a damn squirrel and got run over. I hate the bastards and will kill any I see on the spot.
