Squirrel skinning and eating????????
I found a video on skinning squirrels on a favorite site of mine.
This is not the technique I learned to skin 'tree rabbit,' but it
seems to work really well! ... pretty slick!

+1 Been using that for years,only difference is I grab the remainder of the skin on the hind 1/4's with a pliers and pull it up while I'm still standing on the front portion and and when the skin gets to all the wrist bones I snip them with a wire cutter.I never touch fur and then the body. 0 -

Thats the way I learned years ago.

...use a very similar method...except make a "ring" cut around their hind legs...and then pull all the skin off, hind legs too...[;)]
...kosher salt,fresh cracked black pepper, few onions...cover with bacon strips, cover with foil...bake at 350 for an hour, dip in milk egg, flour & throw in hot oil till just browned...mmmmmm!...[:p]
With the attitude the squittles have 'round here..huntin 'em is a real challange

My girlfriend's dad took me hunting once for dove and when we got back to camp he pulled six 'tree rabbits' out of his vest - skinned, heads tail and feet cut off. I asked him what they were - gray squirrels were illegal to take - and as a reply, he mumbled 'tree rabbits' and a gave me a wink! I later asked Joanie what 'tree rabbits were! ... one hell of an embarrassing moment for a naive 15 year old when she told me![:o)] 0 -
That looks like a pretty good way. It's been a long time since I've been squirrel hunting, but as I recall I made about a one inch cut across the back, and inserted the tips of the first two fingers of each hand between the skin and the meat while grasping the outside of the skin with the thumbs and yank quickly in opposite directions, then snip off the feet, tail, and cut the neck through and gut. This method is fast and requires no bending over or skinning of any degree. 0 -

Will it work with illegals? 0 -

That's a way old technique used for years in the south except we use newspaper under the animal-seems to be less gritty that way.[:D][:D] 0 -

My own squirrel soup recipe:
Skin and clean 2 squirrels (3 if small)
put the beasties (cut up to fit) into a crock pot with 1 cup red wine, 2 cups water , and salt and pepper
Cook on low for 8 hrs. Strip meat from bones and return to stock.
Then put 2 quarts water, 1 head of bok choy(leaves seperated), 5 nice potatos cut up, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 large onion cut up and about 1/4 tsp cummin into a soup pot with a 4 quart capacity. Cook soup base for about 45 min.
Add the squirrel stock.
Heat thoroughly and enjoy.0 -
I just missed Zips threads, and its always good to brush up on your squirrels. I made these tonight they are from last squirrel season. 0 -
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm....treerat. My college roomate used to make a mean squirrel alfredo 0 -
It used to feel so strange in boot camp.....marching in HUGE groups all around the place and the squirrels would be INCHES away from you on the grass. They knew nobody would dare come off the sidewalk and they got soooooo close to you. I've seen them come up to people that would feed them in the parks.....but to see them sit there while hundreds of people marched loudly around them.....weird!
Good to see you Zip!!!!!0 -
