Oh, and guys...it is illegal to hunt squirrel in Québec. Is it still legal to do so in your neck of the woods?
You're not kidding?
I don't know about Virginia where I live now. I haven't been hunting since I lived at home. My parents and 2 brothers live in Tennessee. I haven't heard them talk about it much lately, but I think I'd hear a lot of cussing if such a law were passed.
My wife says dogs are delicious, but considers a squirrel just a tree-rat (which I suppose it is). OTOH, I wouldn't have any trouble at all tossing some rat into the booyah, assuming it were sufficiently meaty.
It's really nagging me that I can't remember the name of that stuff my friend's mom used to make. He's among my oldest friends, but I haven't talked to him in a year or two. He'll think I'm just being silly if I call up just to ask that. I'll try to sneak it in after I catch up on the other stuff.

As I understand, squirrel hunting is legal all year round in upstate New York, as opposed to big game (deer, not lions!) and birds (turkey, pheasant, quail), which have designated seasons. Which are coming up. Time to pull out the orange vests, not that I'd be easily confused with a turkey or anything (!!).

Burgoo?
Hey! That might be it!
Do the contents fit the bill?
That is, any sort of dead animal or plant laying about?

hunting is illegal in all 5 counties of NYC- and i don't think that its permitted in either county on LI, or in Westchester.
every once it in while, this is pointed out, when some country folk, thrilled with the abundance of game, take a pot shot a squirrel, or pheasant, or other game- to fill the families dinner pot.
NYC does support a rich variety of game, and fur animals. mostly small stuff- possums, and racoons, squirrels, red fox, the occational area has rabbits, skunks. Lots of game birds, pheasants, and grouse, and cormorants, egrets, herons, geese, (which every hates, but no one want to seen killed or hunted, they just want them to go away!) many kinds of ducks, swans- and these are just the birds i have seen in NYC! a few years ago, a coyotte wandered into Manhattan- he was seen loping across the Henry Hudson bridge that connects Manhattan to mainland...(and quickly rounded up, and relocated a few counties north of the city!)
Eastern Long Island has deer-- but i don't think it has a hunting season --needless to say, eastern Long Island has lots of Lyme disease. and i think the fox is the biggest preditor to be found.
game is something i barter for; a good friend has a husband that goes hunting, and when she is overstocked, i find something to do for her and she pays me off in venison...
(my daughter is not a vegitarian, but she thinks its wrong to eat 'bambi'- but i am hard hearted!)
