I saw in a thread I had and in another thread that some people were wondering about cooking and eating squirrels. While there are some exceptions there are few things in this world as lovely as a squirrel gravy and a fun small game hunt makes it even sweeter. Unfortunately I will not have an "after" picture of delicious squirrels and gravy over a plate a rice. I am cooking these for a friend and fellow hunter. In a short amount of time I learned a good bit about deer hunting high pressure public land and rekindled my love for squirrel hunting from him. Unfortunately he recently suffered from a stroke. This meal will be for him and his wife when I go to visit him tomorrow. If yall would keep him and his family in thoughts and prayers during his recovery it would be greatly appreciated.
Step 1:
Enjoy a cool major chasing squirrels. Saturday morning was very slow movement. The squirrels were kinda out but weren't moving around feeding. Luckily after killing 5 (the number I wanted for this meal) and walking back towards the boat I found 6, 7, and 8 all in the same tree. It's always great to walk out of the woods with a limit of squirrels! All were good size and some were the absolute fattest I have ever seen. Suckers have been eating good on those big cow oak acorns (aka swamp chestnuts).
