    My wife has never offered to catch a squirrel for me.

    But my dog has tried to catch many squirrels.

    And I have eaten squirrel with fried chicken a few times. My
    grandfather used to instruct us to come inside and notify him every time
    we saw a squirrel on the roof. He always nailed it with his single shot
    .22.

    Waste not, want not.

    My father was the youngest of 4 brothers, so he always had to clean the squirrels and so never hunted after they lost the power to make him do it.

    Which is why he never taught me..

    My grandmother could strip and clean a squirrel in 15 seconds.  And
    throw it in the skillet with the frying chicken.

    Video or it didn't happen! :P

    There are no squirrels here in New Zealand. They also aren't even on
    the Government's list of approved animals that zoos can have.

    I've just finished reading a non-fiction book about various pet dogs
    and their jobs around the country. One dog lives at a rural hotel and
    the book says that one day a group of rural farm children staying
    there. The dog loves catching rabbits, so it went out, caught a rabbit,
    brought it back to one of the children. It then kept repeating that
    until each child had a rabbit. Being farm children, they know about
    rabbits being pests and hunting them, so they were apparently happy
    with the dog's gift / trick.

    No videos in the 1960s in my grandparents house.

    I am old.

    I can believe it especially if she did the boiling water dip. Squirrels are made to come apart easily. Hmm... if you want a video...

    going to school walking uphill both ways. ;)
