If your goal is just to get some squirrel and you don't care to hunt it yourself, I've got more than half a dozen cleaned and vacuum packed in the freezer that I would be fine with sharing.

How much per squirrel? Because I'm very interested?

Honestly I'd be cool just giving some away. Like I said above, I hunt them primarily for population control and tend to end up with a glut when their population is high. We don't eat them super often so there's usually a bunch still in the freezer by the time I need to cull them again (we even still have some frozen Brunswick stew from the last time we cooked any, actually).

oh wow! what a kind offer. Im still determined to start hunting this year but I'd gladly experiment in the kitchen beforehand.

Gotcha.. It's definitely nice knowing where your meat came from. I hate factory farming but I'm definitely not made to be vegetarian (much less vegan) so hunting has become something I am more and more interested in. We're also going to start keeping meat chickens this spring to try to cut back on our reliance on grocery store meat too.

Thats why we became interested! Im trying to cut out factory meat from my diet but $30-$40 chickens are a hard sell. We can't raise chickens where we live at the moment, but I'd gladly start harvesting small game.
