When we eat bbq squirrel we cook in a crock pot with bbq sauce. We usually cook 4-6 at a time with one bottle of sauce. We cook it on low for about 8 hours. Very tender and It tastes great.
The thrill of the hunt and that rush is the reason I love it so much. And just being out in nature. Even from just a small squirrelly you get that rush and enjoyment.
Why do people thumbs down other people's work and content. I have a hard time downing a man's content because he took the effort to put himself out there for others enjoyment and for people to hate on that shows jealousy and lack of social acceptance
I've heard that's amazing!! My one uncle would have my great grandma boil the little heads and then make squirrel brains & scrambled eggs. I think that's how she did it at first. I've always wanted to try squirrel meat,but not sure about the brains and eggs
Hey Chris, I’m in Alabama and down here we make up a flour, pepper, & salt mix and dust the squirrels then pan fry them in vegetable oil. A squirrel gravy can be made from part of the vegetable oil and fat from the squirrel flesh, just add more flour and milk. Add in some home made biscuits and a vegetables like sweet corn or roasted carrots and you got a wonderful meal. PS: don’t waste the heads, squirrel brains dipped in squirrel gravy... mmm mmm good.
I spent most of the weekends of my younger years (God bless the '90s!) in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. Squirrel meat was all we knew! Going back to civilization and school on Mondays was always interesting at lunch time. While everyone else would have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I'd be munching on squirrel meat, goose jerky, or venison!
When I was a kid we would shoot squirrels in a walnut orchard. When hunting alone I would use a pop can with rocks in it. When the squirrel hid on the other side of a branch I would throw the can beyond the tree and he would climb around to my side, I then would nail him with my Crosman 140 22 pellet gun. Easy shooting. Thanks for the video. I love squirrel, good eatin.
If you're gonna build a wood frame stand and attach to a tree, treat it like you would when building a log cabin; use slots and washers....those lag bolts need a little room to move as that tree grows or moves in the wind. If you don't accomodate for that, the tree will pull that stand apart in a few years.
Just ate squirrel for the first time the other day. Made it with chicken and dumplings. Definitely a good way to try it for the first time because it's hard to tell it from the chicken. Love the videos! Congratulations on being successful enough to do it full time!
The Squirrel Hunter and Ted's Holdover would agree ;-) Nothing like the very quiet retort of the PCP and then the thud of the squirrel falling to the ground.
Fun video! I grew up hunting and eating squirrels. We always quartered them then salt n pepper and dredge in floor. Brown in the skillet with butter or bacon grease. Make a gravy and then cover and bake for about an hour. Falls right off the bone.👍🏻
Great video ! Squirrels are all I do now. Small, fast, plentiful, tastey. I can't bother waiting all day for a deer that may never show up, I want to enjoy a hunt. We slow cook them all in cream of mushroom soup. Falling off the bone. Shot a limit yesterday, they were on a feeding frenzy. And yep, used a Grohmann #2 !!!
Mom used to occasionally bake them in the oven in a pan covered with aluminum foil and it was delicious. We also ate it rolled in flour and fried. I will say it is fine, better than rabbit.
Do another one squirrel video! Here a recipe you got to try out with squirrel. 1.Chopped the squirrel into bite size.(bone still in) 2. Add garlic,lemon grass,ginger, green peppercorn. 3. Kaffir lime leaves, and dried galangal. 4.mint,basil,perilla leaves, green onion & cilantro. 5.Basic seasoning Fish sauce, salt. Then get a tin foil wrap big enough for everything to fit in it. Lastly you wrap the tinfoil into multiple layers into a ball and place it over a fire pit for 2hr to tenderize it. My old man taught me this recipe.
a buddy at the old shop would bring a crock pot in about once a month. he`d fill it with squirrel quarters, and cook them in cream of mushroom soup. I Hate mushrooms, but I was about the only one that would eat them. Great tasty treat ! I hope you put that stand up high enough, so big foot don`t go yanking you guys out ! Thank You for sharing your video, and bringing us along. ATB
Love your videos man! As a Texan, this kind of stuff ‘ministers to our hearts’! 😎 Squirrel meat cream gravy over biscuits was a winter tradition with my family in Louisiana. 🐿🥯🥘
At any point where your going into the tree you should strip the bark back youll get much much sturdier connection points goin wood onto wood that bark can eventually break away then youll have a half inch gap or so between the board and the tree
Full stop! I keep a bucket of salt water in the truck and clean the squirrels as I bag them and drop them in it. Also slow moist cooking methods seem to work best for a tender squirrel.
Soak them in salt water at least overnight. Boil them for half an hour or so to tenderize them. Roll in flour and pan fry them. Make gravy from the grease bake some biscuits to sop the gravy up with. You then have Tennessee fried squirrel with gravy and biscuits. I grew up eating them like this.
I see u with those biceps in that thumbnail 😂 Also we need 2 get u on the Joe Rogan podcast Or have him go on 1 of ur excursions with u That would be insaneee! If needed i will have the jre community spam him 2 get that done 😂
FYI... The Michigan out-of-doors television show that they play once weekly in Michigan has a part of the show that shows Wild game cooking by local people. Usually they have some great recipes and show how to make Wild game even better than it normally tastes.
At around 18:32 I could have sworn you said "I think, if this was cat..." LOL. That is not what you said, but its what I heard (and could imagine you saying it). Thanks for the videos. Always enjoy them! Full stop
You are making me want to go out and get me some of those squirrels! I'm blessed here in Missouri to have so many gray squirrels. I also have a ton of black walnuts here for some bait
Fullstop each time everytime WB! Good stuff! I have a suggestion forbthe next squirrel you get. Here me out on this one. Go but a pineapple. Cut the top off and then cut it up into 1 to 2 inch pieces with the rind still on. Put that into a blender and blend it to a pulp. Place the whole squirrel in a 1 gal freezer bag and pour in the pineapple pulp. Let sit for 2 to 3 hours. Take out squirrel and rinse. Then season with wodobo spice and cook on the grill till done. The acids in the pineapple will make the squirrel tender and not "false" cook it.
I really love all of your videos, I have always had the desire to be an outdoors person. growing up in the city in Arizona has made it a little difficult, but Recently I’ve gathered all of my old camping gear and went up into the mountains alone and had an amazing time and it was all because of you. In one of your videos you mentioned that the best way to get into it or in my case back into it is to just go out and do it. So I just wanted to tell you thank you for giving me the motivation to get up and do it
Great content as usal and that looks like the old school stands they used for deer here in the south. I love when I find old wooden stands on property I hunt. It really shows that I'm in a spot that has always held deer, because no one back then would have taken the time to build them if no animals were in that area.
Put a feeder up on one of the nearby trees. Use some cheap grain as feed and the squirrels will learn and come daily. That is the method the brits use to control the greys over there.
Nice video Chris Nice stand I would wrap some camouflage netting around it you be surprised what difference it will make. Squirrels my best is always on them make lovely eating this time of year their nice and fat. Thanks for sharing 👍👌🇬🇧
