Squirrel season in Florida

[Daezee]

Grew up hunting and eating the big reds in NW Missouri. Good on the grill, iron skillet with bacon fat, or a stew. Soaked em in salt water or milk over night in the fridge before they were cooked up. Gonna try and harvest a few this year but my concern is I see them tearing up green pine cones on my property and worried they may have a bitter piney taste.

Shot some pine cone eating squirrels on my property and haven't noticed any piney taste. But then I'm not an expert on food or maybe the bbq overwhelmed any pine flavor.
