A little different

I've been considering squirrel hunting this past week. Seems easy enough- they're basically a pest and they're everywhere. Before you go calling your local PD to have me arrested, I'm not talking about going to a local park and opening fire. These would be woodland critters- freerange, organic woodland critters. I've been looking up recipes and have even come up with a suitable culinary term "Aquerne," the olde English term for the buggers.
Of course, I can claim that I'm doing my part to reduce the population of an animal that has successfully ousted the local squirrels. But mostly it's because I'm curious what they taste like and there's a trend in Europe (the U,K. anyway) toward serving them in restaurants. Learning to skin and tan the hides will be good experience, too.
I think I'll bring the old WZ-48 22lr rifle and give it a test- I'll leave the scoped 10/22 in the cabinet for now.
