Always wondered how much meat was on a rat. Thought about squirrel hunting, but I just can't kill for a single burrito worth of meat. And yes, I get that they're eating pests in this case.
Up through WWI, there was an official war on squirrels, which ran for the previous 400 years. There were often bounties on squirrels in many places.
The iconic cookbook The Joy of Cooking included directions to skin a squirrel, with recipes, until just a few decades ago.
