PM sent. Good to find another squirrel eater...they are very good done right!
Squirrel hunting is how I teach my kids stalking, patience and good shooting. Some of my favorite times in the woods.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
Thanks for the recipes! I'm sure my girlfriend will look at me funny but I'm going to try some this week. I still have 3 in the freezer from last season.
TP- You're not far from my parents' house in Saylorsburg. Usually around Christmas or Thanksgiving I shoot with a buddy in McAdoo. Maybe you can make it down for the day. If you're interested I'll let you know when we're going to head out, we're looking for 1400yd this year.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
I would normally cringe at the thought of eating little critters like squirels, as im not overly fond of rabbit...
However after watching a few seasons of Bear Grylls in action, my mind has changed and im more inclined to eat anything with the exception of spiders!
GG your son looks like hes having a great time. Nothing beats the excitement of hunting for the first time.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
We had a two week spring squirrel season in June here in VA. Took a good number of them around the house but you'd never know it as I'm still being overrun.
My dog doesn't know that there's a regulated season on the tree rats and gets one a week on average.
Looking forward to the goose/squirrel/dove combo hunt on the 4th.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
Cleaning them is pretty easy. In some hunting books and videos you'll see a guy dress out the squirrel like it's a deer or other large animal. While it works, it's a pain later on I've found.
I do this instead:
Get a very sharp knife or a little razor blade and a pair of solid kitchen shears. I have a pair of the Cutco shears that I love, they work great.
Pinch the belly skin and carefully slice an opening big enough to work 2 fingers into the hole. Do NOT cut into the abdominal muscles or into the gut-sack. You're just getting under the skin.
Work 2 fingers in and open a small pocket to get the scissors into the hole and cut/slit the hide from the belly to the throat and down to the anus.
You can make the decision as to whether or not you want to keep the hide and/or keep the tail attached to the hide. I'll approach it like you're keeping the tail attached and the hide.
That being said, don't cut the tail off or anything else. Now you've got the squirrel's hide peeled open a little and you can use your fingers and hands to skin it the rest of the way. Occasionally the knife/razor will be needed to separate the skin and muscles but you're peeling it like a piece of fruit, not cutting the hide.
Work the skin down around the limbs and just pull the feet out like a sock. This will flip the hide inside out but you just poke it properly. You can also choose to take the scissors and cut the hide "tube" on the leg open and lay it flat for curing afterward. It's a PITA to do this while still on the body.
Peel it up to the neck and down to the base of the tail. What you have left is the hide completely separated from the body except at the tail base and neck/skull join.
Take the knife and slice around the base of the skull and chop through the spine with the scissors, do the same at the tail.
You now have the head and tail and hide as one lump and a headless, tailless (but otherwise intact) body.
Take the sharp knife and slice open the abdonmen, use the scissors to cut up through the sternum and out to the neck and lay the body completely open. I use the heavy scissors to chop through the pelvis.
Peel the internal organs out into the trash can.
Wash well with cold water and decide if you're going to eat it in the next 2 days or if it should be bagged and frozen.
Do what you want with the hide. Cut the head off and throw it out and you're left with a nice intact hide and tail.
ETA: With a little practice, I got this method down to about a 3 minute process. From the time I would fire the shot to when the thing was seasoned and sitting in the freezer would be inside 10 minutes (I "hunted" from my back window a lot)

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
I make squirrel leg hot wings! Skin the critter, cut off the 4 quarters, throw out the rest, Slap them on the grill and baste them with a 50-50 mixture of hotwing and barbecue sauce.
Every time I made them the kids would holler for more and I would have to explain that you can only shoot 24 hotwings per day!

6 more days here in Tennessee but I don't like shooting them in the summer. Too many have the Bot Fly larvae in them. I usually wait for a good frost before heading out for limbchicken.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
It works, but I use a method I was taught as a kid that we call "shucking," that takes about a minute. Once it frosts, I do it on the spot and put the carcass in a ziplock in my hunting coat. I leave the entrails, viscera, skin there for others.
Back when the menfolk in my family would compete, we would save the tails and sell them to Mepps. My dad still has the record with some absurd number like 140, but back in the day he would save 4 weeks of vacation to spend 8 hours of day running traplines as well.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
ya, when I read your post above, was thinking: wait'll he sees this!
Tips:
-Shuck 'em quick as you can after droppin' em. If you leave it to the end of the day the shirt doesn't come off easy.
-Skin first, then dress. Cuts down on fur sticking to carcass.
-Get a good flap going on that first cut, otherwise the tail only might come off.
After a couple times, takes longer to describe it than do it.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
The method from the video above is exactly the method that I use as well. It is best to do it as soon as you can after the squirrel is dead, otherwise the skin has a tendency to hold on a bit more. After you skin them, dress them.
I carry some ziplocs and an ice pack in my hunting pouch to keep the carcasses cool until I get home. This method minimizes hair on the meat and keeps it fresh until cooking.

Re: The Squirrel Season Countdown Thread
You know, I usually use the shucking method.
This first one of the year got half the meat and its front legs shucked off, as well.
Gotta' watch it sometimes, I guess, early in the season before they build up fat - or that's the reason I was given for this phenomena, anyway.
