If you gonna shoot them put them into the freezer. Barbecued squirrel is

There's so little meat on a gray squirrel; never understood why people
make such a fuss over them as food.
We used to figure 4 squirrels 'meated up' a spaghetti sauce just right
for 6 people. Maybe our greys are bigger than yours? [I've only
hunted them in NY] The labor/meat ratio is better than for
partridge or woodcock.
It has been a long time since I dressed one, but I'd guess a good one
went about 1-1 1/2 pounds.
That sounds like a mighty meaty gray's - around here they are way too
scrawy to eat, figure two per person. As a kid back on the farm I'd hunt
fox squirrels - plenty of tasty meat.
