Not many if you put them in a mesh bag and when you get the reoux and water boiling as soon as the mix is favored pull them up and let drain and then put them in the freezer for next time.This way a couple or three squirrels will go a long way.
The squirrels in OK must be a lot bigger than here in Utah. One shot from a ML out here and there wouldn't be much left to eat.
Too bad you don't live around here. I had about 30 or so of the Fox variety on the ground permanently awaiting for buzzards and/or feral cats which are common here. These animals enjoyed such produce so much, because there is no smelly decomposition remaining anywhere around. ... felix

I have not had squirrel in over thirty years since I moved to New Mexico. Eating ground critters can be dangerous due to fleas and the plague. Do miss it.
I never shot one, but there are some big tree rats in the gila.
Ha,Ha, Bob it's like anything, it's how you cook them.Beleave me I have made squirrel & rabbit
gumbo for guest at the house & never told them what was in it, & they could not eat enough.

Well I guess, never ate a pine squirrel, just reds & grays.

GunslingerNM, you can eat the squirrels, and other small game here, especially from the mountains (they're pinon fed there). You just gotta hunt in the winter when the sick ones die off. I recommend a lot of red chile to go with the all the sage they tend to season themselves with.
