When I was in college at Miss. State U in the 60's six of my hunting friends and I took all our squirrels from our fall hunting trips to Momma Tee's Restaurant. She cleaned them and froze them. At the end of the season, she'd fix a big mess of Squirrel and Dumplings, homemade biscuits, gravy and all the trimmings. Was quite a feast. She charged us $2.50 each for all her efforts. Of course we ate a lot of other meals at Momma Tee's. The squirrel deal was just good marketing for her restaurant.

Actually, they taste like chicken, as they say. Squirrels are good to eat. I usually stew them, with a little bacon grease and chopped up bacon bits - all the other stew stuff. They're small enough that you have to leave the bones in, and I only use the bigger bits - legs etc. The rest can be browned in the oven and turned into stock.
Fox squirrels are MUCH bigger than grey squirrels, and a bit tougher.
My father liked them fried. They come out much like rabbit.
