I have shot and eaten the great tree rat.
Taste like meat, is whitish meat.
Hell, I was hungry and out of stir fry.

Go out to the dump shoot a big rat and skin it, then go into the woods and shoot a squirrel, skin it.
Lay them both side by side, see any difference? A little rat meat never hurt anybody!
With bush tails, without bushy tails.... Rats - the other other white meat.
And a squirrel came up and bit my big toe.
The only tree squirrels we can't shoot are the Douglas, northern flying and western gray squirrels, all the rest are non game species and are able to be hunted. But if it involves depredation then you can dispatch them.And they became even less cute when the arborist informed me I have significant squirrel damage to large limbs in my gorgeous old maples last week (they gnaw thru the bark & lick the sap . . . damaged areas that they keep open become diseased & rotten over time.). Can't legally shoot them in WA State, so I'll just hope my Lab keeps them at bay and any that are chewing on my trees fall victim to tragic accidents. 'Course now, if one of them acts rabid or charges . . .
