Dipped in a milk and egg whip and rolled in flour with ground pepper, minced garlic & onion - then pan fried in bacon grease with cut fresh garlic and onion floating in the grease ! Good 'ol 'Mountain Man' recipe!

Shoot the non-native species and let the owls and hawks cleanup.

Our squirrels are so small here it would be silly to bother eating them. Some of the ones I’ve seen down south are rabbit sized!

If you never want to have tough squirrels do them by cold packing them and they all come out of the jars very tender. I use the four legs and the back section only. No ribs as they take up to much room in the jar and no meat on them. The dog likes them after boiling them until cooked. Flour them up and fry them on both sides on low heat for 5-8 minutes until they are browned on both sides. Then pour some of the liquid in the jar over them and leave them simmer with low heat for several minutes. Salt and pepper or other seasoning to your own taste. I like chicken seasoning on them some times. These jars were mostly from 2012 when I killed well over a hundred grey and fox squirrels. I have been canning my squirrels and rabbits since the early eighties to avoid having tough ones or freezer burnt. Then in years after that I gave the squirrels I got to other folks that can't get out any more for them to make pot pies and squirrel gravy. They would always give me some when they made gravy or pot pies. Yummy!
