I'm Mad!! Why do people shoot small squirrels

[westcobbdog]

IL has some huge fox squirrels that can pick a camo'd hunter in a tree like a bobcat.
They have a different kind of bark than our gray squirrels and are much larger. Very cool to see, saw a nearly blonde one and it was hard not to send a bolt way his way.

Takes 10 to make a bag of groceries or 11 makes no difference to me. I feed the small ones to the dog. Free dog food is a good thing.

Small squirrels kinda like small deer, taste great easier to drag out!

Haven't logged in for a few months, saw this thread at the top and thought it was about ME! Shot a few "young of the year" for the pot yesterday and somehow popped two mature bucks as well. Pressure cooker couldn't break em down even though the others pulled like butter. Ended up going to the pigs.....at least they weren't wasted??? Next time I'll make a coin purse for the OP!!
