Squirrel. Anybody eat that?
« on: June 11, 2015, 11:55:20 AM »
So I got a squirrel problem. They be trashing my bird feeders. My slingshot arrives from Amazon tomorrow. If I actually hit and kill one of those little bastards, I figure I should do it some dignity and make a meal of'em.

Anybody got some info for me?

Tree Rat?





High heat to kill any bugs........2-zone, throw some nice wood chunks in there......

Tractor forum's usually got good stuff on things like this......marinate.......

A Poem.....


Little Squirrel in the snow,


Fell from the tree and broke his toe,


I brought him inside to take off the chill,


And then I threw him on the grill

Wife is not keen on any of this. She actually looked mad when I mentioned it!  There are great big turkeys frequenting the yard. Can I sling shot one down if I say it was attacking the kids?

Any South Park fans out there?  As long as you yell "It's coming right for me!" before you shoot, your good to go.  (if you don't watch South Park, never mind)

You would have to hit it directly in the head . Wild Turkeys have been known to withstand blasts from 12 gauge shotguns at distance.

used to eat squirrel as a kid. My dad and I would go hunting and we'd eat our score for dinner.

I remember it being quite delicious, and easy to clean too.

I don't think your slingshot is going to kill a squirrel though.
