Squirrel? The ones who's nuts are close to the ground? YEECCHHH!!! I was in the backwoods for a couple of days and had nuthin left ta eat cept an apple. So, I used it as bait. A red squirrel grabbed it an scampered up to a pine branch to have a munch so I shot the little bushy tailed rat to get my apple back. I felt bad and remembered my old man's golden rule... don't shoot nuthin ya ain't gonna eat. Made a fire, roasted the rat on a stick, took one bite, spit it out and ate the apple. I can still taste the musk. And the robin was just as bad. I finally had to bring myself to take a rabbit... there were lots of rabbits but I just didn't want to kill any... that's a long story.

Maybe Reds are different? In any case, new rule... no red skwerl.
