Probably the same size as our urban grey squirrels. Yes, it's a lot of work cleaning them with not much reward, LOL
But if you are hard up for meat, then there is more incentive.

They are your Grey squirrels, some idiot imported some American greys about 150 years ago, they decimated the native red squirrel population to a point its now endangered. we call the grays " hairy arsed tree rats" theres millions of em .
They have taken over a lot of the fox squirrels' historical territories here as they are more comfortable around humans than fox squirrels. But they haven't made much of a dent in the Mississippi Delta.

It’s ok to loose this one
Sorry, wasn't paying attention to the thread title...you can delete my irrelevant posts.
Not at all, we should repost them in the proper thread is all I was saying.
I bought 75 of those Hormel white plastic bowl shelf life meals in assorted flavors, turkey with taters and gravy, chix with taters and gravy, and meatloaf with taters and gravy and beef roast with taters and gravy. I heard shelf life is really 3 years! All good but the beef/meatloafs are the best! I have a gennie for the microwave but hopefully they can be heated over hot water.
Also got lots of canned Kirkland beef, chili beef with no actual chili’s, lots of canned white chix , and 20 shelf life Dak hams, and 50 spams, and 100 canned tuna and albacores. Plus another 100 ugghh tasting Dinty more beef stew with veggies.
Meat should be a high value bartering item if shtf.

I have a stash of a lot of these things but not quite that much.

I ordered a chest freezer right before this thing got started. Unfortunately it didn’t make it before the months long backlog. Now I’m just hoping my older one that’s full continues to work. It would be tough to try and cook and can a whole chest freezer full of food at once.
Cook just the top row of stuff at a time. When our big chest freezer died, there was still frozen meat in the bottom nearly a week later.
I would not let my wife get another big chest freezer. I told her that too much stuff just gets lost in the bottom never to be seen again. I found a large amount of vacuum packed venison from at least fifteen years ago that I didn't know was in there (we have a separate freezer for venison)

I have a small freezer it will hold a couple hundred pound of meat,,,it's full right now and I will not buy anything more for in it until I can see the bottom of it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,that is the mistake people make they pack one full and just keep buying more for in it,,,,,you have to use most of what is in one to keep a rotation going
Just yesterday my wife wanted to cook everything in the freezer and then restock. I told her now was not the time to be out of food! With our smaller chest freezer things don't get lost in the bottom like they did with the big one.
The big one came out of a restaurant she owned at one time. Yeah, the kind you can put two sides of beef in...whole. LOL.

I have 90 lbs of chicken,,,6 Boston butts ...around 30 chicken pot pies,,,it will hold more if it was packed neatly,most was frozen when put in ,,frozen food does not pack well

Why just those two options: cook or cold? The majority here are on the hoof, walking around. Can't ask for more fresh than that.
Because Brent was talking about what to do if the freezer dies.

We got rid of our old chest freezers and moved to several of the smaller uprights. You can't hold as much in each one, but you don't lose anything to the bottom of the freezer. It makes it much easier to rotate your stores. In years past, I've wasted way too much food that got "lost" in the dungeons of the chesties...
you can't go out and just kill someones cow,,if caught you will have the police after you so on the hoof for most is not an option,,,,besides no one is going to eat 600lbs of beef at one sitting,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,imagine the waste
The only big critters wandering outside are the two legged kind. I'm not quite to the point of cannibalism yet. I haven't seen the neighborhood cats that normally hang out in the backyard hunting squirrels for several days. Maybe they got the kung flu too, LOL.
