Red squirrel ! yuck ! I agree, I have been told all my life they are not the best to eat so I stay away from them, I eat Gray squirrel, it takes about 6 to make a gallon of squirrel and dumplins, I cook them in a crock pot with no seasoning for about 4 hours on med, the house smells like I am cooking pork in a crock pot.. Gray lives mater to me becouse they are tasty, Red lives do to but I don't shoot them :lol:
