Have you ever observed a Squirrel sitting on a branch,& It appeared that he was washing his face with his paws/arms?The reason I ask is because All Squirrels have scent glands in their forearms,& depending on the season they will have alot or a little...Musk that is! 1st & Foremost,after you send his soul packin',chop it's forearms off at the elbow,then follow the directions on the Manliness post.If you want to keep the hide/skin but fear the fleas,etc.,You can dunk it like a teabag a few times in a bucket of Cold saltwater,don't bother drying it off afterward,just no need thats all,Good Luck with the fun!
