love me some teriyaki squirrelGray squirrel pot pie is awesome.
Most people are turned off by gray squirrel. I've ate tons of them. Loved hunting them when I was a kid. Mom would par boil them and debone, dredge meat in flour and fry in butter in a cast iron pan. Mmmm.
I recently got back into hunting them a few yrs ago, season opens a month before smallgame and archery for deer. I use it to scout for bow season. Started using a .22 rifle instead of shotgun, wild squirrels are not like in-town bird feeder ones, it can be challenging. With a .22 even more challenging, gotta be like a sniper, wait till they stop moving for a good shot, I think it's better than deer hunting. Using a high powered pellet rifle this fall, been practicing on eradicating red squirrels and chipmunks right now (no I don't eat them).
