When I was a kid I had a cat that would go hunting with me in the woods by our house every weekend and I would shoot birds for the cat and squirrels for me to BBQ on the porch , good times. That was 30 years ago.

My Grandmother was an expert squirrel cook. Her rules 1. Don’t cook an old tough red squirrel- Gray squirrels only. 2. Pressure cook a bit before rolling in flour, meal coating will tenderize. Yours looked delicious.

Pro tip that has always worked for me no matter what I’m cleaning with fur, get it wet or damp. It helps the hair not get all over the place.

Great video. I've eaten hundreds of squirrels and It's fairly easy to get them nice and tender. The crock pot is the easiest way. Soaking them in salt water for at least 30 minutes right after cleaning is a must. It gets the game flavor out of the meat. I recommend sweet and sour squirrel. My kids can't tell the difference in it and chicken. It pretty much shreds like pulled pork. Another quick and easy way to get tender squirrel is to season it however you like, but put a little corn starch in with it. Then bake them at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or so and it's almost like they're fried. Keep up the good work and definitely keep up the airgunning. If you have any airgun questions, feel free to ask. I only use airguns on my channel.

I have a squirrel problem in my new home. Decided I needed to take action, embrace my Appalachian ancestry, and eat my problem. Somehow ended up on this video. I love this video. I love this family. I wish they were my neighbors. Subscribed.

Nothing more fragrant while it slow cooks in the crock pot on a fall day, then a couple of squirrels harvested from a Hickory Grove. Best ever squirrel for eating!

Nice fox squirrel, nice shot. I just throw them in the slow cooker with either a can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup. A few hours later, falling off the bone and tastey. Super easy. I put the squirrels in a bucket of warm water before skinning, keeps the fur from flying and sticking to meat.

All the other youtube squirrel chefs say you gotta age it in the freezer for a few days. It takes the toughness out. But the saltwater bath is rarely mentioned. Combine the 2 and you probably have a winning combination

I have found a made great recipe for squirrel. Lightly season with salt and pepper, brown on a grill, put in a cast iron dutch oven, add some sliced smoked sausage, some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and simmer until fall off the bone tender. Now that is some good eats...

Love the video, when I was a kid we cooked it the same way except after it was fried we used the crisps and a bit of the oil left and used some four and milk to make a gravy then put the squirrel back in and let it cook longer to soften the meat back up.

Back yard Buttermilk Squirrel!!! Heck yeah!!!

I'd eat that in a minute!!! And have never had it!! Great job

Some of the best ways you can probably cook a squirrel would be to First boiling it with milk and then put your buttermilk and your flour and fry it that way it will be more tender

I still remember the first time I had squirrel. My dad put it in a stew and told me it was venison( he knew I wouldn't eat the cute fluffy "tree bunny"), after I had finished the bowl was when he told me, I was so mad lol... I was also 10 so I got over it and had another bowl, because that stuff is goooood. Also, this was a very good video, I always enjoy when a new one comes out even as a newer subscriber

We used to wrap up the squirrel tightly in plastic wrap and leave them in the fridge for a week. Softens them up and take a little of the 'wild' out of the meat. Now I use a vacuum packer (less chance of anything getting skunky).

Next time for skinning do the same thing with the tail but put it on the ground and step on the tail and pull the feet. Same concept just more leverage and easier .

you need to throw it in the oven after frying for about an hour at 325F degrees to make it softer and break down the tissue.

Dunk squirrel in bucket, keeps hair down. Have extra clean bucket of water to splash hands, keeps hands hair free. Tail method is definitely the best. When you cut through the bone widen the cut back of the legs and jockey back and forth when you pull. To the left and right leg. Just a feel. Squirrels are good eats!

Squirrel too tough to fry. You got to pressure cook them first. Or my favorite bake them in a crock pot with lots of garlic for 3 hours. They fall off the bone then.

you know what I consider to be a risky move but is usually pretty effective? Swinging at the wasp nest with a hat...oh I missed, oh man I missed again.

My last squirrel meal was like eating hot wings, tender, and falling off the bone. The only step you left out is to first boil the squirrel meat for at least 45 minutes... then do everything just like you did. The difference is amazing

We usually cook squirrel for several hours in the crockpot, then bone it and add noodles. Squirrel and noodles and mashed potatoes is delicious. And cooking it low and slow like that makes it fall off the bone tender. In fact that method works for any tough type or cut of meat. Even an old rooster or laying hen that's getting kinda long in the tooth.
