Re: Squirrel hunting for food


When I was a kid, we lived across from a large field. Two big male tabbies we had that were mostly outdoor cats but did visit us when it was cold, often brought us dead squirrels They must be quite nutritious though as they'd be gone for weeks and show up with chubby faces, looking much like squirrels themselves!

Re: Squirrel hunting for food


Evidently, they make good eating. Squirrels, that is, not tabby cats!!! Learned that from Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall's Wild Food programme on the telly.

Sounds like an idea to me ................

Re: Squirrel hunting for food


Angie, Brunswick stew is a well known Southern dish here made with squirrel meat! Although nowadays most people make it with chicken ......

Unfortunately. discharging a firearm in the City is a HUGE no-no, so although it would solve my problem, no can do!! My policeman neighbor and I have often wistfully discussed his service revolver ... he's the one who had only 20 daffodils survive out of the 100 he planted..

Re: Squirrel hunting for food


mmmmm - you don't have to shoot the squirrels Eileen ..... I'm sure your policeman neighbour could set a couple of traps?

I wonder how is best to cook a squirrel. How does your Brunswick stew recipe look?

It seems to be a popular idea here in U.K. at least!

Re: Squirrel hunting for food


Carolyn tried traps, Angie; an exterminator came and got the family that had chewed a hole in her soffit board to nest in the porch roof. He relocated them and within a week new ones had moved in We are over-run with them.

Loved that link, so funny!

Here's a link to Brunswick stew: I've made it (with chicken!)
