    Squirrel is delicious. Personally, I like to put them in the slow cooker with veggies, onions, garlic, salt, pepper and a little Worcestershire. Skinning and dressing should be very quick work, or you need to learn a new method. My method involves a little knife work, then "grip it and rip it."

    We had a "squirrel bog" tonight as part of our New Years gathering

    Had about 8 squirrels in it
    Belle pepper
    Onion
    JalapeƱo pepper
    Red potatoes
    Venison "kielbasa sausage"
    Rice

    Cooked in the crockpot for 3hrs on high and 4-5hrs on low

    It was good!

    I plan on putting some duck and dove breast in the next one

    That doesn't look anything like the fox squirrels we have here.

    killed one about 530 Friday afternoon around the edge of an old swamp bottom, Jake treed it.

    The other one I killed this morning out the top of a big old oak tree. He was up there fast asleep and I just happened to notice something funny looking when I walked by. Jake had sniffed around the tree a few times but never barked so I figure he must have been up there for a while
