young ones are good and older ones are a bit tuff but if properly cooked they are good too. Take care when skinning out not to break glands in legs and take extra time to remove all fat.

I'd be scared to death to eat any I shoot...my .22-250 55 grain BlitzKing bullets fully tenderizes them....tiny bone fragments everywhere....usually they are in pieces...

ROFL. Yah, nothing like the splat of a varmint round. Funny I handloaded hornady SX's for a triple deuce for years. They would go off like a little artillery shell! Hehe, put a couple FMJ in your pocket for when you are hungry.
