This is a great video. I loved the "hundred dollar squirrel" comment. A lot of what hunters eat is not value for money or value for time in today's economy but it is undeniably worth every penny. My daughter and I liked this video and watched it a few times. She kept asking me to try squirrel. Here in the UK they are a pest and we shoot them but we don't usually eat them. Anyway after about 3 months of asking, I finally went out with her and got some squirrels. We just had Southern fried squirrel tonight and actually it was really good. Better than the chicken you get in the shops anyway. We will be eating squirrels again. Thank you for the inspiration.
