And who's gonna eat those cute little squirrels? Joe Joe, the squirrels might add a little flavor to the mayo sandwiches that Darwin eats. During World War II meat was scarce. Those of us a few years or more past 60 remember the ration coupons and the "making do' with what we had. My trusty .22 rifle came in quite handy for putting squirrel meat on the table. Ammunition was scarce too, so it was always 1 shot = 1 squirrel and shoot for the head to minimize meat loss from the shot. I developed a real appreciation for Brunswick stew. I have very little desire to go back to what we call the good old days. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A. DelMarVA Chapter Pres. 4049 Oakland School Road Salisbury MD 21804 USA 410-543-0110
