    I've eaten "Parka squirrels". They are kinda like prairie dogs. They live in holes in the ground. They taste OK but are pretty greasy.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Well......they eat grass and soybeans so they should be pretty tender. Can't imagine why anyone would want to eat one but I suppose you can if you want.

    Well Rick I guess if that was the only game around and you were hungry you would eat a gopher. I have also heard them called ground squirrels. I have not seen any other squirrels here yet.

    Oh, you bet. I would. Ground squirrels to me are these @#$$%@ animals. It would take a mess of ground squirrels to get any meat: :

    We actually don't have gophers. We do have groundhogs which is what I thought you were talking about.

    I don't have photshop, but that gopher is just begging to have a bullseye placed on him.

    I seen a guy trap a Marmot and eat it, not much meat on those things. Even though they look chunky.

    OK - those are funny.

    But I've got to point out that mine are "original" creations.

    Now you've done it. Rick's going to give up his plans for that .308 and go full auto.

    Oh no... I've put Rick at DEFCON 1...

    Don't do it! Don't do it!

    * I missed the title "Super Moderator" under your Avatar. I didn't realize I was poking fun at someone with access to the big red button.

    Hey, by way of apology, I could slap together a new Avatar for ya - something with a big SM on the front. A red cape maybe?

    (shaking head) Not going there. I'm not. I won't do it. No. It's just too easy. I'll wait for a hard shot.

    And he doesn't like to be made fun of. He has no sense of humor. (Dancing finger around BAN button).
