It's interesting that the topic of eating squirrels has come up in this thread as it has come up previously with a discussion of whether or not there could be a red squirrel hunting season in BC. As mentioned above, it is currently illegal to harvest red squirrels in BC other than by trappers.
If there are no conservation issues, would you support a hunting season for red squirrels in BC if there was a requirement to utilize the meat?
Take the survey for interest sakes to see what kind of support there is, or isn't: https://forms.gle/M6hPT1eEQBjcMe5c8
