I've had squirrel, on a camping trip.  Its okay.  It tasted like those turkey legs you get at festivals.  But it was kind of hard to eat because it was tiny.  Same reason I don't like hot wings.

Gray squirrel is certainly plentiful in my neighborhood (San Francisco East Bay). They rattle the trees, bury fruit and walnuts in the garden beds, cheek the cats and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Cute, though, at least when they're not stealing my strawberries. Nice to hear they're tasty, but the instructions in the article contradict what folks I know who've eaten them say, which is to hang them for at least a week.

I also think it's important to make sure they don't have Valley Fever, but I'm paranoid that way. Probably because I grew up in the Southwest.
