Problem squirrel rookie cleaning with the bk 15

[TravisH]

So, I offered to provide the cat with free range all organic squirrel for the next 30 days and we'll see how it works out.

Cat will starve to death. But you'll have loads of fun watching the action.

My cats gave up trying to catch squirrels. The squirrels end up harassing the cats trying to get them to play.

OMG, the world really is going down the sh***er, lol! Anybody who's never eaten "chicken of the trees" immediately turn in your "man card" to any woman who knows how to make the fried squirrel and gravy recipe posted earlier! Extra points if it's made in a cast iron frying pan. I make it, but it's not as good as mom's was. Rabbits are even better but getting harder to come by without a pack of good beagles. For all you urban pantywaists, if you have problem squirrels on your bird feeder and can't bust a cap in 'em because your PETA neighbors, a 110 conibear with a peanut-butter slathered apple slice on the trigger will provide the ingredients for the aforementioned culinary delight! Be careful not to break those just-manicured nails, lol!

We always made them into stew. Brown it up and throw them in a slow cooker with onions, potato, carrot, celery, some seasoning, water or stock, and you got it. You need at least a half dozen to do it.

OK, I'm gonna say something and please don't take this the wrong way, BBQ sauce and other type sauces are just masking agents for something that isn't prepared correctly. If you wanna have some squirrel that taste great and is also tender, well here's the way I've been fixin' and eating it for 50 plus years, clean and cut into pieces and soak in salt water overnight, take it out and rinse it off.......

This soaking step is so important with both squirrel and rabbit, IMO. Great recepie !

Awesome man!! I love me some squirrels!

Nice job on the cleaning brother! Looks like the 15 handled that little rat with ease.

I've got an old cajun recipe I have used the last few times and is just amazing. I'll make you a copy of it for next time if you want.

And you forgot the best part, The Head. I started throwing the head in my squirrel stews. There is a lot more meat on those little squirrel cheeks than one would imagine.
The brain didn't taste so hot, but is edible.

Also, plan on eating alone if you cook the heads cause I know my wife almost threw up when she looked at my plate and saw that little squirrel face looking up at her.
