That is one fine mess of squirrels.......... a few of them and about 10 other ingredients would make a tasty rice purloo..........:ThumbsUp
I'd like to have that mess of squirrels fried up with some bisquits and gravy!! That's a fine haul on squirrels!!
Man thats a fine mess! Did some checking around here snd there is basically zero acorns. Them buggers are spread out thru the multi kajillion pine trees cuttin pine cones.
Nice mess. You taking head shots with a 22? A few years ago I thought that I would be hot stuff and use my Ruger Mark III hunter with just iron sites. Needless to say I was not as good of a sharp shooter that I thought I was. I did manage to shoot one in the neck.
What the heck is a fish stringer in them squirrels for?
So they don't get away! Lol!Quote:

JW, I never used a stringer, but I do keep mine on a boot lace!Quote:

Interesting. I always cut a branch and ran it through the feet to carry mine. Kinda miss hunting em but I don't like to eat em.
Good eating if fixed right.Quote:

Nice.
I can skin one faster than most and prefer to skin than the nasty part of cleaning. Bring your scatter gun and we can harvest and cook up all you care to eat!Quote:

True that! And it also makes the cleaning job alot less messy if they are all head shot. My buddy gets mad at me when i destroy the "best part of the squirrel to eat!" But we dont have like opinions there. Im a back man myself.Quote:

Same principal. Cut a slit in the feet and string it. Keeps em with their tails over their back and the body stretched out. Makes cleaning easier.
If we have a gathering this next spring, I'll cook some for you to try. I don't do tough squirrels.
Deal kent
Hey get young ones or soak and pressure the old ones. Flour and season parts (legs and backs with ribs removed only) and fry. Make mashed taters , biscuits , and mild gravy! Slap yo moma good.Quote:

Almost ate too much, but quit just in time. Slept good last night! Mama learned from my grandma, Flossie Cox, who raised 5 kids on squirrels, potatoes, and purple hull peas. Flossie always did it right and my mama did it right last night. Don't want to get kicked off of this site, but all I can say is Dam good supper! :) GTTQuote:
