    I think they taste a little like rabbit, only tougher.
    My dad always braised them in gravy.

    Yeah they were good. Clean the squirrel and skin it, throw the carcass in a pot of boiling water for 1/2 hour or so. Pull the meat of the bones and and put it into a skillet with some oil or butter and chopped peppers, mushrooms, & onions. Then stir fry.
