I am grateful to have this and other internet-based sources of small game hunting info. I have always lived in a big city area and none of my friends or nearby relatives hunt.
I' ve had a very good hunter safety course (mandatory here in NJ) but that' s all it was: about safety.
Squirrel season starts here in about 8 hours and I' ll be out there...only my second season as a hunter although I' m age 49.
I did manage to find a few hunters at the workplace but they were all strictly deer hunters...mostly bow.
So...it' s only been about 11 months since the first time I ever tried to turn a living creature into food! That' s just how it is for some of us living in the NYC area.
Eventually, I' ll graduate to deer and maybe beyond. But I won' t forget those tasty tree rats or how and where I got the info on how to get started. The more meaningful posts on this subject the better!
