I hear they taste like chicken.

That would be a fine choice. Tree rats are beautiful creatures, particularly when breaded, fried golden brown, and served with biscuits and milk gravy.

Maybe you’ll work up to rabbits or beaver. Your comment reminds me of a game we used to play at our deer camp to keep the place free of mice. We’d set traps before bed, and then we’d wager even or odd as to how many mice we’d catch during the evening. Every time a trap snapped in the night, someone had incentive to get up and re-bait it.

It’s a very inexpensive sport. I’m only in it for about $1.05 and I’ve already bagged two! The trick is a steady hand to set the trap so it doesn’t go off and inadvertently capture your hand, leaving behind a nasty red indentation in the backs of your fingers. The best bait is American cheese in the trap, but I think it’s the 20-lb bag of Ol’ Roy that brings them in from far and wide.

Alas, I swore I would never, but I have finally taken up hunting in some form.
