In Texas, there is no season for hunting squirrel...it is a year-round
luxury. I've seen squirrel as big as cats as well.
As for the 'tastes like chicken' MISinformation...
Rabbit doesn't taste like chicken (thankfully!), especially after getting
the gamey taste out of it.
Rattlesnake tastes like chicken tho...
