Spoken like a true child. Did you finish your homework in time and make it on the bus this morning?
I got my first squirrel around 13 or so too. Once again, most of the people who are going to comment negatively on this article fall into the following group: 15-30 males who have a passion for computers (lol) and love to fantacize about casual sex with the lady at the laudromat, play computer games instead of exercise, etc.. anything that falls out of those categories will be bashed on this forum; it's just expected.
I very much appreciate hunting and fishing (my favorite things to do, usually only once a year) and believe animal rights are important, but the state allows x amount of animals to be hunted per day and wouldn't allow it, if it were going to be harmful at all.

Why bother.....
Lived in the countryside until 2001, a small village with less than 1000 people surrounded by acres of trees and farmland in a county with lot's of fox hunting...which has now been banned...

I don't agree much with fox hunting. Most people don't eat them, they are not in the least bit overpopulated, and they are only hunted for sport. Squirells, deer, rabbits, duck, geese and a few other commonly hunted animals though are hunted largely for food and are not anywhere close to being underpopulated.
The only reason I see for killing foxes is because they cause damage to chicken farmers.....foxes go into a killing frenzy and will call all the chickens in a pen and run off with just one....my uncle had this happen to him.
I am not so much against killing animals for food really, I mean it happens and will hapoen...I just don't see why people bother doing it themselves instead of going shopping....especially something like a squirrel....I mean I am not remotely tempted to kill rodents and eat them....

It's all in what you like. Calimari(squid), crayfish, and shrimp are completely unappealing to me. But people pay big money at a restaurant to eat it. More power to them.
Small game makes a great stew. Wild game has a much more...distinct....flavor than domesticated animals. Burger and steaks from deer is much more intense flavored than meat from cows. It's also much, much leaner. Way cheaper too.
Same thing for squirrels. Much bolder tasting meat, more lean, and it's for all intents and purposes free food...short of a hunting license and ammo costs.

Overpopulation is a SERIOUS problem. If there were no hunting allowed, the government would have to spend serious cash to trap, relocate (where to?), or kill the animals that would otherwise be hunted. As it is, automotive collisions with animals cost millions of dollars a year, imagine if there were even more deers around.
And obviously, people have fun hunting, so that's why they bother.

FYI: I grew up in near Dehra Dun, India - an area that has a sizeable population of tigers and leopards, including those who turn man-eaters. At present, I'm concerned with bears (You can spot atleast one in 3-4 weeks) ... I live in West Virginia, but I dont go around eating them :disgust:
... and no, I'm not a vegiterian.
Squirell eating wierdos
Think your son'll better off if u taught him to read & write instead. What's he gonna give his bride as a wedding gift - a moose head?

There isn't much flesh on squirrels, unless you don't mind chewing on bones, however it is good that you taught your son that he have to eat what ever he kills. Isn't there porcupines in your area? Or, somthing similar that are alow to hunt year round?
So where's the logic in that? Hunting and literacy are not mutually exclusive goals. Nor is hunting some kind of redneck sport as you seem to try to imply.
If you're not a vegitarian you should STFU, or better yet go feed yourself to one of those bears and do the rest of us a favour.
Yeah, safety I believe, but marksmanship?

It really isn't much different than eating buffalo/hot wings. Very little meat one the bones.
But this really isn't anything out of the ordinary for me, since I've pretty much ate anything you can hunt, fish or trap in the midwest.
BBQ'd beaver is quite good. As are pan fried froglegs and turtle.
