"Like rabbits, squirrels should be paunched as soon as possible after killing. They can then be hung for up to four days in cool weather, although this isn't really necessary, especially with younger animals. Skinning is as for a rabbit, only harder!.... All the good meat on a squirrel is on the back legs, or haunches. There is also a bit of worthwhile meat on the saddle. The best way to joint them is therefore to cut a skinned squirrel in two, just below the front legs. The two haunches, still joined together with the saddle attached, make a great one person portion. Or they can be separated to make smaller portions for a casserole. The front third...can be discarded, but is worth keeping for stock. Roast the pieces briefly before putting them in a stockpot with vegetables and herbs."

this cop that nabbed the furry beast arrested me many many times as a juvie...
There are cases where squirrels have gone on rampages and terrorized whole communities. In Westerville, Ohio, more than one gray squirrel attacked at least eight people. The furry suspects with beady eyes had taken over a tree-lined neighborhood, and no one felt safe. Police once had to set up traps, send out patrols, and even corner suspects in the county park, but no arrests were ever made; police were unable to nab any of the suspected squirrels. One officer, while on patrol, witnessed an attack. The squirrel appeared friendly but suddenly leaped at the victim and bit her leg. Unprovoked attacks like this lasted two weeks during the spring, then suddenly ended as quickly as they began. This case remains a mystery to this day, but like many unsolved cases, it may have a lot to do with spring and hormones.
