I love smoked (not grilled) squirrels. If done right the meat will fall off the bones, even the ribs. As everyone knows the younger the better. The old tougher ones, boil 1st, then roll in seasoned flour and fry. A lot of folks make squirrel & dumplings. NOT ME! I've never seen any done that way that the meat didn't look like hair. It may taste great but I can't get past how it looks. The most DISGUSTING way I've ever seen them cooked is fried whole, with the head, teeth, etc. The folks then crack the heads & eat the brains!
