Awesome.....I love hunting squirrels, shoot a pile of them every year.

Native to the region?Eat them? How'd they taste?

2 PH's thought I was crazy for wanting to shoot a ground squirrel in Africa for my collection. Still need to find one that'll take the time for me to find a good specimen, so far I get strange looks and scoffed at.
 
Squirrels look best in a Black Iron Pot making a gravy.

There are tonnes of them there - they are a huge pest problem especially to the coconut farmers.

They have an interesting taste - almost but not quite chicken (I know - cliche' hehee), together with a distinct musky flavour in the meat. Not bad at all!

I was very lucky - I found a great PH who is eager and willing to take me small game hunting next year :D So happy and grateful (y)
 
yummy that looks like some good eating! now i am hungry the squirells better look out when I am huntin hungry!;)
 
They grow them big in Delcambre! What do you use for a pot? Or a spit over an open fire?

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
