Probably used to always contain squirrels because
they were abundant and challenging to shoot.
Maybe even flying squirrels.
This is probably the best titled blog on the subject:
The Real Reason Why Squirrel Meat Isn't Used in Brunswick Stew Anymore

where Tim Carman comments
"The fact is, many commercial Brunswick stews are dishes of necessity.
Just ask Bubba’s owner Mo Khalili, who developed his recipe at a
barbecue joint in Tennessee in 1971. “What we used to do every
Thursday, we used to clean out the walk-in,” he recalls. “All the
leftovers were put in the Brunswick stew there....What was leftover in
the kitchen, you can’t throw it away, because that’s profit.”"
