While doing a search about what kind of squirrels we have here, I found out that Red Squirrels are native to Idaho, and as of 2018, they are listed as a “game species” by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. So, for all of you squirrel hunters out there, are Red Squirrels the kind you hunt?
Secondly, I know it’s probably hard to describe, but if you eat squirrel meat, what does it taste like? I mean, is it comparable to any other type of meat? I’ve eaten a lot of different types of wild game meat, as well as pheasant, duck, goose and different species of grouse and dove, but never squirrel meat. I’m guessing most of the meat on squirrels is on their hind legs, is that right?
Lastly, how do you prefer squirrels fixed? I’ve read about squirrel stew, as well as fried squirrel and using the drippings for gravy. That’s what sounds best to me, but like I said, I’ve never hunted squirrels, much less eaten any.
Thanks.
