They are great eating, very tender. You'll need more than one though. I'd say about 5-6 per person.

 

I've ate them, taste no different than fox or Grays, not much meat other than the back legs

Thanks guys, I was thinking about making Bird Gue stew with them or another form of stew you all recognize would be Brunswick stew.

Slightly more meat than a Chipmunk...

Red squirrel is my second favorite "squirrel meat".. Chipmunk meat is great......started out as a joke, but man is it yummy. Your're right, not a lot of meat, but I never pass up a chipmunk "about to do damage" on my property. 22 shorts or pellet guns are best.

Thank you guys, Steve you actually ate chimp monks?

Yup. As I said, the first time it was a joke "dare you bet". Got my grandson hooked on them as well. Never had enough for a meal, but a great appitizer. Seriously, they are DELICIOUS. Red squirrels come in a close second, but again, not much nibbling on 1 squirrel.

Never ate 'em but mounted Monk tails on safety pin bases in high school jewelry class.
Chicks loved the mini "fur collar" broaches.
Couldn't get away with that nowadays, not PC.

 

Once the fur is off they all look the same deep fried...

 

I've had chipmunk also. Really not bad at all.

Is there a limit on house rats? Them don't look like they have been gutted or skinned!
In the words of Rachael Ray, Yummo!

Thank you everyone.

Fabner1, You like the main stream tv cooks? I guess to each is his/her own.

For me I don't watch most of food network anymore unless it's Alton Brown.

By thw way Great picture.


Here is another question for you gents.

Ok I know that the possession limit is 10, Does that include Red squirrels as well? I mean since you hunt them all summer now instead of a few weeks like before.


Thanks

Derek.

 

I believe there is no bag limit on them.

 

No bag limit, no closed season. They are classified the same as starlings, opossums, weasels, feral hogs etc. The only requirement is a valid hunting license in your possession.

Thanks Don, I do have a valid hunters license, So I am really excited.


No bag limit on red squirrels? NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That will be good. Now all I have to do is to get better at center mass and head shots with my henry 22

 

we dont kill reds over here, the grey ones do that, so we hammer the greys so they dont kill two many reds.

Smoke,

Do you mean do I like my wild game skinned and gutted? Hail yes!
I have never eaten rats but probably could in a pinch (maybe)!
Love Alton Brown!

12,

You probably don't have our "Red Squirrels" over there. I think you may have what we call Fox Squirrels which some people here call Red Squirrels.
Our little Reds (a quarter the size of a regular squirrel)will chase away the biggest Fox or Grey! I just saw one chase a huge Fox squirrel across the road and up a tree! Aggressive is not even close to a good enough term to describe them.

They need shootin'!

They will even castrate the greys so they can't reproduce.
