"so they taste just like fox/gray squirrel then?"

I haven't had a gray or fox squirrel since I left Wisconsin as a kid 30 years ago! If memory serves, these little pine squirrels tastes like... well, like squirrel. Give em a try.I've been told by many they taste like pine, but futher interrogation has always determined that those people have never actually eaten one andhypothesizing what they think they would taste like. lol If you want a real treat, fry up some chicken and save the grease. Slow-fry the squirrel in the chicken grease. You'll get the best of both.
