Gents,
Today I took two squirrels in the few hours I had to hunt and one of them had this giant lump that came to a brown head. I thought maybe it was an infection so I poked at it with my knife and the goddamn thing started moving!!
I called PA Game Commission and they said it's most likely safe to eat, however they wouldn't advise it. I did read online that it is safe since it's only in the skin and doesn't affect meat.
I'll see if I can get the pictures off my phone. PAGC wants me to email them some pictures.
