Squirrels, deer, rabbit and wild pigs were common place on our table. Did any of you ever eat squirrel meat?

When I was little, my dad hunted squirrel and we ate it fried quite a lot. My husband thinks that's so gross (and HE grew up in Africa!!). When I was 12, we built a house out in the country, and we had a bunch of squirrels in the woods behind our house where we could watch them every morning. After that, my dad couldn't kill them anymore; I guess he is just a big softie at heart!

Yeah....but what if someone else kills them for him? Or...if he had cows out back would he still eat cow?

Uhhhh.....he could probably overlook the cow and still eat the burgers!! I think his soft-heartedness has its limits.
