The internet is a weird place officially. Just eat the animals or don't but no one lives around Chernobyl. The amount of chemicals in water bottle and tap water is more of a threat. The food industry puts more poisons in there so called health food. This comment was weird to me because here in Tennessee in these hills we eat what we hunt or it goes to the dogs if it looks funny or smells or just to reward them.
Looks like we’ve been robbed of a classic. Some jokes just weren’t meant for this world.I guess my recipe for squirrel was too offensive for this forum and was removed.
My sincere apologies to those who were traumatized. I did not intend for the post to offend.
Man I drink from water hose on hot day still. Bill gates ain't killed me yet. Still eat snow and rather not know every danger out there.The animals around Chernobyl are actually pretty clean. Don't eat the pigs (because they eat mushrooms which concentrate radioactive isotopes) and you'll be fine.
Generally speaking if you're asking on the internet you don't have access to local folk-knowledge about what contaminants are in the environment. That's why I suggested testing -- it doesn't hurt to know.
You can often find some really interesting information about your environment with tests like this. Perhaps your home is downstream from an old abandoned mine that everyone has forgotten about, etc.
Just don't eat the yellow snow and you'll be alright.Man I drink from water hose on hot day still. Bill gates ain't killed me yet. Still eat snow and rather not know every danger out there.

No your right about it being useful. Just maybe I feel its odd application for small game. But do want to say I respect the resource matter you provided to the original question of this form. Please take no offense to my odd perspective and opinions on your statement. Im sure we'd kill a ton of squirrels together and all that.Not sure what you're getting at. I'm not talking about UFOs or conspiracy theories. I'm just saying that science does have some practical purposes. If you're not in a comfy position like you where you have folk knowledge of what is safe and what isn't, testing is an excellent equalizer.
Too much garlic, probablyI guess my recipe for squirrel was too offensive for this forum and was removed.

I’m sorryI wouldn't. I lived in Chicago, Il for 42 years. We had rats as big as cats. The city would put rat poison packs in the alleys and nail little signs to all the wood electric poles warning of it (the poisen packs). We learned from an early age not to touch those little square packs. The rats ate it a little at a time and became immune to it. They call them "super rats". Squirrels are called "tree rats". A rat is a rat. No city squirrels for me.
Squirrel and rabbit gumbo pretty good to!A rat is rat no matter where it lives. Its prime diet is nuts and berries. Eat it and know its not lab grown meat. Power broil it and make dumplings. I kill city deer to!

If you enjoy taking them dead you can make money by selling the tails for fly fishing lures to the lure companies.Nope. Into the trash with them. Don't even handle them without gloves.
Yeah, I do the same. Corvid wings and feathers desirable too. I you stash them in the freezer for a few months, you can build up a nice little stockpile. It’s a sustainable way to get some pellet money.If you enjoy taking them dead you can make money by selling the tails for fly fishing lures to the lure companies.
I live in a sort of rural area but close enough to a few cities. I've been eating squirrels out of my yard for years. I always just check for abseses or other things that look weird like spotty livers etc. Make sure they are well done and you should be fine!Where I live, squirrels are a nuisance and there’s no season on them. Shot quite a few and never did anything wit them.
My thoughts are that living in the city, I have no idea what they may have gotten into or eaten, and therefore I haven’t thought eating them to be a good idea.
Any other city people eat any squirrels they shoot?
