Either pork or brisket. It's considered a prime meat in east texas. Good stuff if wild caught. Farm raised is ok too but wild blue cat is premium eating.FredLewershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221076803807309775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-8258108268155268352019-07-28T07:16:38.351-04:002019-07-28T07:16:38.351-04:00Catfish were last week.

The house was surrounded by walnut trees. Till grandpa moved there full time they wintered the house. One year squirrels filled the attic with walnut husks. He declared war and every male with a gun was expected to do their part. I attended Olivet College and often rode a bike there on weekends. I used a 22 short gallery pump rifle poorly. My cousin would wake me every morning with his 20 ga gun. He killed many more than I did. We never put even a small dent in the red squirrel population.

I suppose 110 conibears might be too large. I don't know about eating trapped squirrels in summer since they don't bleed out, I'd at least give them a good kosher salt soak.Howard Brewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828388973685184730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-29690059666727353802019-07-27T15:06:54.043-04:002019-07-27T15:06:54.043-04:00I find that poisoning them with lead pellets works...I find that poisoning them with lead pellets works better. <br /><br />Either hot gasses or compressed air (if you need to be quiet)....Either way works better than traps. Seldom do they get away, either.
