    Squirrels! It's Whats for Supper

    Appreciate your passion for squirrel hunting and eating. I grew up on squirrel hunting, teaching me 1-shot kills, being stealthy in the woods and more. Eating is just as much fun, fried or made into a pot pie. The special treat is the heart, too bad it is small. Keep the tradition going.
