Hedgehogs

I'm sure it depends on how they are cooked. I think they usually season and pan fry them in the south. I made squirrel stew one time and it was okay. Kind of plain though not gamey(that would be gross). Not worth the work in my opinion. Paul said he's not interested in the pan fried version so I just shoot them for Tina to retrieve. I clean and freeze them. When I grind meat for dog food I'll add a few to the mix.
I got 2 this morning. It's very satisfying for Tina to retrieve them. She'll be mellow for the rest of the day.
There are more than enough squirrels around here. A next door neighbor had someone go to her house to trap them. They damaged the eave on her house, got into her attic and were doing further damage. Cute but nasty little things.

That's a shame - I expected them to be tastier given what they eat. I love the flavour of wild rabbit and all they eat is grass (well, 95%).

My ex wife phoned me one day when a squirrel got in the house - we had an upside-down barn conversion and this thing was trying to get out...she was trying to get it out, but they were both panicking and the thing ended up chasing her. It was one of the funniest things I've ever witness - her screaming down the phone while a squirrel was bossing her round the house.

In a similar ilk, I had a girlfriend at the time ring me panicked as there was a squirrel in our bedroom and was hiding in the bin, presumably frightened.
When the first thing I asked her to do was take a photo of it, she wasn’t impressed.
Nor did she take the photo :(

We had one swimming in our pond this year.. I rescued it… before throwing it over the neighbours fence… Obv…



Do you know? ( in a Michael Cain way obv ) that grey squirrels, are only Red squirrels that have got old…

Changing the subject slightly I have noticed in the fields around home this year that there are very many more hares than usual. Has anyone else seen similar ? I was out walking the dogs this morning and counted at least 6 unless it was the same ones following me around. Can`t rule that out you know, mad chaps they are.
I have also seen 2 hedgehogs recently so while that`s not many its better than none.

I have noticed more hares about - fewer rabbits.
