 hey everyone, I killed a squerrel a few days ago, and it occoure to me, i never really had to cook one, my grampa always did it. I just roasted it over a campfire within 15 mintues of the kill, but id LOVE to hear some good recipies to cook the critters, maybe some stories as well. everyone has a unique way of skinning, mine didnt work well at all, i had to make a few different cuts. so, does anyone have a very reliable tecnique? thanks, -jimmy

knightd:
For skining I just make a cut in the middle of the back and then stick two fingers on each side of the cut and pull his shirt and pants off at the same time. ;D..
 I like to take them and flour and fry them and then make a batch of thin gravey put the fried pieces in there and let it simmer on a very low heat until the meat is tender. and serve it over rice.

ballista:
awesome, thanks for the reply- how long would you say is too long after the kill? like from when you shoot it, to when you fry it up?

mullet:
  I clean them the same way. But I do it as soon as I shoot it. The skin comes off easier while it is still warm. I just go to the Colonel's chicken place and stock up on handi wipes. And carry two, two gal. Zip-Lock baggies with me.

 I then save them till I have a bunch,(10 or 20) then put them in a pressure cooker till the meat falls off. Pick all the bones out and mix it up like you would Tuna fish salad. I then freeze it till I go hunting for the weekend and that is my sandwiches or it is great on Ritz crackers and a cold beer.

 By the way, I shot one out of the top of an oak Saturday morning with my new James Parker bow. But he ran off into the palmettos.

ballista:
 thats awesome, i shot one a week in the suburbs, i got hell from my mom for it though- homemade blowgun did the trick there  ;D  do you freeze them unti you have a bunch, or do you go out there like f-in rambo and get 18 within a days hunt?  ;D oh, i as watching bear grylls (one of my favourite shown next to weapon masters, both worth watxching) and he just roasted the entire rabbit, guts and all- he did an identical thing with a squerrel in russia, but it was also frozen solid from the trap, he didnt even take the guts out... wouldn't you want to just pinch out as many as you can? thanks for the replies guys, jimmy.
