Are squirrels edible ?

In Texas, we have a legal squirrel hunting season. They are not
bad eatin' around a campfire after a day of clearing land.

You guys are lucky my XYL isn't watching this thread ... she is
a biologist, licensed by the PA State Game Commission as a
wildlife rehabilitator (she's currently raising ... for release ... about
a dozen orphaned baby squirrels ... probably does about 60 or
more each season, in addition to rehabbing maybe 2 dozen or
more injured adults.)

We have 12 acres of forest here, with squirrels, rabbits, possums,
several dozen wild turkeys, groundhogs, deer, fox, quail, and some
pheasants ... if I shot a single one, she'd shoot me (or worse :-)

Luckily, so far at least, no evidence of the local critter population
developing a taste for coax :-)
