Grey squirrel

We have a mix of greys and foxes with greys being the predominant color. I've always preferred the greys. The standard was squirrels and gravy.
 
We used to fry them growing up in Appalachia. Save the heads for older neighbor lady...she like the brains scrambled with eggs.

Down here we have a bunch of the big black and white fox squirrels so Squirrel Bog is more popular way to prepare them.

If you have a mess of yearlings fry them. They rest go into bog.

I fry mine like chicken and make flour/milk/water/fry pan leavings. And I have browned squirrels and added to the crockpot with the gravy fixings and a couple of cans of small taters. NEVER include the rib cage because you will end up with a gazillion small rib bones in the finished pot. I set the crock pot on high for hours. I took some pots full and had feeds at work. My fellow officers and pals really enjoyed it.
