Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
I recently read that city squirrels are dangerous to eat or touch, due to rabies and diseases. Is this true? Can I eat a squirrel I shot in the suburbs?
City squirrels are no different from their country cousins other than diet. The most hazardous thing about them is the "no discharge" ordinance that you'll be violating if you hunt them, most cities have such an ordinance.

Back in the day when I was in college, I use to trap them at the local city parks using 110-2 Victor conibears. Am surprised none of my traps ever got messed with. I did hide them too, and maybe no one suspected anything, so they went unnoticed. LOL!
