Fill in a former northern boy now living in Charlotte. What the hell do you do with a squirrel after you’ve "hunted" it? I’d think that any kind of rifle or shotgun projectile would blow the cute little critter into smithereens. Say he survives the smithereening, do you eat them…stuff them and mount them? Aren’t they rodents?[xx(]

As someone who grew up hunting squirrels in Connecticut, I think that’s still in the North, I learned early to make head shots, but, no, even if you don’t hit the head you still don’t ruin the meat. I eat them. Doesn’t everyone? Fried squirrel with cream gravy? Nothing finer in the world.
