We've got grays, fox, and a few others around.

I'm thinking about how Mallards taste alot better than any diving ducks - which are just plain nasty.

Are any of them better eating than the others?

and NOPE - you couldn't pay me to eat a red squirrel

I always heard that greys and foxes from Pecan groves eat pretty well.

Sort of like a "feedlot" for squirrels..

IME you about got it right, fox and grey taste the same to me. I ate a red squirrel once.
Once is the operative word....

Probably depends more on what they are eating. Pine cones spring to mind. miles

We've got reds, greys and fox around here and I've eaten them all. Young greys are the best eating.

Greys that live in farming areas taste the best.
Had a housecat that wouldnt touch a red squirrel, but
would eat chipmunks all day.

I'm with Ingwe, greys and fox squirrels taste the same to me. However, on average, I think the greys aren't as tough. But you can tenderize both.
