PAFOA Squirrel Hunt

i got 2 squirrels with a shotgun yesterday, cleaned them and put them in the fridge. my question is are they are safe to eat after taking a load of lead shot or do i have to go buy some non-toxic for today?


thanks

I had fun. A lot more relaxed hunting squirrels than deer.

Im glad you enjoyed it! Happy I got you in front of some squirrels....I love squirrel hunting. I grew up on hunting squirrel. I think anyone interested in hunting for the first time should go out for squirrel. Its fun and you get to shoot alot. Plus they are delicious lol

And where were you guys when I needed people to run the bears out of the swamps? Its hard to getyoung people involved in deer hunting especially ifyou sit all day inthe cold and see nothing. Your right about squirrel hunting and other small game, your always on the move.

Sounds like a good time! I've never gone squirrel well atleast not since I was a kid in the woods with a BB gun. I would really be interested in trying it out. You think I could get away with using my Hawk 18.5 barrel 12guage? I've used for deer hunting it's gotten me 3 doe in the past 3yrs.

I have been shooting squirrel with shotguns my entire life and have had a ton of success. A 12g with #6 shot high brass does the job perfectly...full choke preferred but not necessay...just helps with further shots.

Clark Kent was using his .22...that thing does some serious damage with its hollow point rounds. It actually does more damage then a 12 gauge.

And they were subsonic HP's too.
