        THAT’S the one you take issue with? Lol

        In not sure anyone is eating muskrat or opossum outside West Virginia mountain hermits, people born before 1890, and anyone who self identifies as a trapper.

        Squirrel are fantastic.

        They’re the least “gamey” out of most small game, less so than rabbit, and taste something like leaner dark meat chicken.

        Awesome in a crockpot substituted for chicken in most recipes. Can fancy up squirrel with a Sous vide to make squirrel confit bánh mì tacos, or keep it old school and make squirrel pot pie.
