Ground squirrels, good eats?

[Coach]

It's probably 100% mental, but I have no problem eating tree squirrels, rabbits for that matter. Something about ground squirrels just seems dirty - like they're diseased rodents. I shoot 'em all the time and wouldn't eat one unless my life depended on it. Same with Jack Rabbits (why are cotton tails OK?). I did try to eat a jack rabbit one time and it was like eating boot leather - maybe just trying to cook it over a fire made it so bad.

I can't really say anything about eating tree squirrels, haven't tried those. But I guess if my survival would depend on it, then why not. For catching those a simple humane rat catcher from this article would be okay I think.
