Well first off, what did you get for a gun. And do you have a hunting license

I agree with lonewolf on the license and rules. As far as cooking squirrel I skin them cut off the legs and toss the rest. Cook them like you would a chicken leg. We used to pan fry them then put them in spaghetti suace.

You will need a hunting license before you harvest anything.

Got a few recipes here...Good Luck:

Look up local hunters education coarse first to get your license. If you get caught,youll never be able to hunt and pay some seriours fines. Not worth it for squirell or rabbit IMO. Hope you find a coarse. they are free and usualy take two days.

and of coarse no coarse near me are they doing a course in southwick, and do those laws apply even if your hunting your own land cus i think i heard someone tell me that

[Fins n fur tv]

Yes laws are laws. So you need a license to hunt your own land
