got up this morning was suprised there was a frost our first of the year...any way got to the woods a little after daylite it was cold to me and must have been cold to the squirls also...it was about 30 minutes before i seen the first limb shaking. i moved a little and saw the fuzzy tail twisting on the side of the tree suddenlly he came into view i raised the old parker ten up and slid the safety off and fired the left barrel and down came no 1 squirl... i waited to go pick up the squirl and in about 5 minutes i seen a young doe deer rise from her bed shes was not over 50 feet away she started blowimg and stomping her feet.. boy was she letting ever thing in thr woods knoy i was there... i finally just had to scare her off and move on farther looking for another branch to move...i finally picked up my 2 nd squirl and hunted a while longer but the critters just seemed to have dissappered... those 1 ounse loads did there job and ther literally was no recoil felt... not my best day for a record kill but it was would have been a fine hunt even with no kills..it was just to fine of a day to set in the house or to work... charlie

if they are young squirls after cleaning them ilet them set in the frige overnite in water with a little salt in it....when i get ready to cook them i pat them down with a dry cloth to remove excess water...then roll them in self rising flour with pepper and salt as desired...put them in prewarmed skillet using butter then drop in squirls and slowly bring to a golden brown or crispy state... sometimes i mix water and flour and make gravy with them.. serve with hot biscuits and youhave a fine meal... charlie

Charlie,
That's my favorite way to fix them as well. Some guys go to a lot of trouble with squirrels but to me the simple way is the best. Good Work Destry

I agree; a squirrel skillet stew with chopped onions and garlic and gravy is as good as it gets. Tender and tasty beyond description.

Sounds delicious - I'm going to try them next time I get to hunt anything with some size. In Vermont where I spend 98% of my hunting time all we have is those little red squirrels and it would take a bunch of them to make a meal.
By the way, is there an easier way to get them out of their daggoned skins?  ?

Skinning squirrels is a heck of a lot easier than skinning a moose. I'll find the full video (put out by the Virginia DF&G) and see if I can post a link to it.
This isn't the link I was thinking about but it shows the same technique. Cut through the tail bone hard against the back, extend the cut just a bit, grab onto the back legs, step on the tail, and stand up. You end up with a skinned squirrel in about 30 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66AVwthXgMA |
