Once again this shows how different the culture of the West is a lot different than the rest of the country. Squirrel hunting in the midwest and east is very popular. Squirrel hunting is often a first experince to young hunters. I have hunted and ate squirel many times in Michigan. Its not much different than eating a rabbit. If you mention that folks out here in the west and they look at you like your weird or a lower class for eating a squirrel. Same thing goes when convincing folks out west that bluegill, catfish, and perch are excellent table fair.
