The First-Ever World Champion Squirrel Cook Off

Have you ever had jalapeño squirrel poppers? I haven't yet, maybe I will if I make it to next year's World Champion Squirrel Cook Off. The first one was just held in Bentonville, Arkansas:

"It's what nature intended for people to eat," Bud Bohall, a contestant in the competition Saturday said.

It's the first ever World Champion Squirrel Cook Off and it happened right here in Northwest Arkansas.

"We have a panel of 5 judges and each team is judged on their side dish and on their entree. And the predominant meat for your dish has to be squirrel," Founder, Joe Wilson said.

This clown just burned down an apartment complex prepping his squirrel so be careful!

Cortez, thanks for the info, really. I've been considering hunting them but I've never had squirrel so I don't know what to expect.

I didn't know squirrels could cook.

If I had a hunting license, I could lawfully hunt squirrels with my rifle. But my wife tells me that I'd have to skin, cook and eat them by myself. And I wouldn't be allowed to do it at home.
