I ate squirrel when i was in high school. Not something that i ever did twice. We use to shoot fox squirrels. If i remember right you could sell the tails (they used them for fishing lures).
Grey squirrels have two breeding periods per year, one in mid-summer and another in early spring. Young are usually born between March and April, with a second litter arriving around July or August. Females may give birth to one to nine babies at a time, though somewhere in the range of three to five is typical. Each baby squirrel is completely dependent on its mother for the first five to eight weeks of development and stays close to the nest during this time.
31F and grey skies. Snow/rain today.
Highest snowfall total iâm seeing out of Colorado is 42F inches in a couple spots. Windy Peak, WY reports 52.5 inches.

Yeah, most days as a kid beans in some form were on the table 7 days a week. Salt cured bacon or ham once in awhile. And fish at shoaling time. And squirrel in hunting season.
There were no deer in those days. And we had milk and butter from a cow, but never slaughtered a cow as we had no deep freeze.
Anyhow, by about age 16 I came to the realization that squirrels are just glorified rats, and quit eating them by choice. Before that, just followed what the adults did.

a friend of the family that was from MD used to boil them and use the meat to make squirrel gravy over biscuits. was pretty good. we dont have grays or fox here . only the little reds which are too small to bother with. i shoot them and throw them in the compost with the crows i often dispatch as well.

I would say a solid 2-3 inches of slop here. Just enough to make it annoying. Should be a slow warming stretch now.
Mistral today and very gusty. Not fun. But the sky is a gorgeous blue without a single cloud. Very beautiful, if youâre indoors!

We had clouds and 30Fs all day. Today hopefully is a little warmer, but clouds are still stuck overhead.
Next week looks like rain Mon thru Friday? Very active weather pattern. Looks mild though.
It looks like that we are going to have dry and nice temperature in 60s this weekend. A perfect time to do some plum grating
