Spotted squirel liver
Hey guys I have a question that I have had for some time and has resulted in lots of wasted meat it is about squirel livers i have killed a few squirel's this year but every time I go to dress them I see there liver has white spots on it they seem to be healthy I mean they did not act sick when I saw the running around so should I still eat them or not risk it.... Thanks

I have hunted squirrels for 48 years an have never seen white spots on the liver. I killed a fox squirrel couple years back that had a bad case of mange, only one I killed that was sick.
I would say you are probably OK to eat them as long as the meat is well cooked. You might want to check with your local game department to see if there is a disease problem with the squirrels in your state. As long as they appeared healthy an didn't act sick, I don't see a problem, myself. |
I would not . when in doubt ,throw it out.when I was a kid we hunted rabbit and were told not to eat the ones with spotted liver.
think about it,is eating a rodent, really, worth risking your health? |
Thanks oldtimr that was very helpful the spots on the liver I have seen look to be white specs in the liver itself no like cottage cheese
|
I wouldn't eat it
|
I find it strange that your killing so many with spots. Checking with the local game department might be a good idea.

yea i suppose it couldnt hurt. it seems like rabbit fever is very common in missouri i had read on the cdc website at least i will most likely no longer hunt squirel on that property i have also never shot a rabbit on the place that was not sick in fact just last year me and buckman11 shot a rabibit opened it up and were shocked to see the worst looking liver i have ever seen
|
Every rabbit is sick ? You on a toxic land fill or something ? I don't know much about small game diseases but sounds like a little bit to many sick animals there for me. Might be ok but it would just wierd me out to eat them
|
once again, WHEN IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT.
IS EATING A RODENT MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THEN YOUR HEALTH? if you are starving and it is the difference between life and death,by all means, scarf it down. otherwise why would you even contemplate it? |
that is my feeling to kidoggy i will not be hunting there for small game i have taken deer there with no problems witch is strange but hey.on a side note i suspect the source of the rabbit/squirel sickness is a creek that is on the property it is stagnant and very foul smelling i have always wondered whether it was something to do with the sick game.
