I've been toying with the idea of saving the hide and tail for an experiment to make a decoy for red fox. I just need time to tan the hide, something to attatch the skin to, and of course...a squirrel to make a sacrifice for science

Alex M -Welcome to Huntchat
I save & Eat the meat, and have save the tail's too. The Cats love playing with a Dryed up tail. Speaking of Decoy's- I took 8 Tail's and used superglue and attached them too a little stuffed bear. Put it on a Stick with a String on it. I can move it with the twitch of my finger. Works good. Lastyear a Red Tailed Hawk almost took off with it, That was a sight to see.

Most of them I toss. I have in the passed saved meat, but rarely and when I get several at once.
Giving tails to the cat is fun too, especaly if you dont have to clean the mess hehehe .

Lilred, are you being serious? I've always thought that I could eat just about anything, but I think that would make me lose my breakfast.

I'm as serious as the day is long...he ate them things all the time. And yeah, fore I knew what they were, I was eatin em too..and while I eat/have ate coon stew, frog legs, snake, eel, hearts, livers, pig ears and even mountain oysters...I think that knowin yer eatin just a spoonful of squirrel brains..will make ya sick. Although, they dont taste that bad that I can recall..but there aint no way I would eat em now.
Pop used to say that they was like genseng, and that his pappy would eat em durin the war to keep up his strength. Must be alot of protein in em er sumthin, them ole timers lived offa the land, like their pappys did fore them..and they wont stupid by no means. But I dont need whatever they got in em that bad lol
