The Best Way to Cook Squirrel - Smother Fried Squirrel and Gravy in the Dutch Oven 

Thanks for sharing. Looks delicious!

Absolutely totally creepy disgusting 👎👎👎👎👎👎

Is Amazon where you got your Lodge cookware?

Takes me back to my childhood and my grandma's cooking! I'm going to have to make this (with a few adjustments of my own) for my family! Thanks.

@@Mega12AX7 yes you are.

Welcome to the party 🤘🏻 Squirrel is good but rabbit is some sweet meat. Fried up rabbit back straps are a thing of beauty my friend. You try it you'll never want chicken strips again

Soak meat in milk or buttermilk. My tip. Like a rabbit. Don't wait a week to make. Try exotic meat market to order anything you want. My Pyrenees are squirrel killers. I don't really have to hunt them. Brown or black squirrels taste the same. Yes there are black squirrels. Pine squirrels are dog food. Like rats. Not worth eating. Skinny tails a tell. Also size. This is a good technique here.

Why does it matter what color you are?

I know what he was saying about him being black it was being raised by people who had to eat what they had in the south!

Nothing like a big meaty Florida squirrel or two.

Sounds wonderful...

My boi Kevin Clyburn moved from Baltimore to Florida

Do you eat squirrel in your neck of the woods?

Tastes like chicken

Funny! The next time my brother refers to squirrels as tree rats, I will just have to correct him, won't I ?!?

It tastes just like chicken, an I just loves chicken..😁

Chicken taste so disgusting I never eat it. Maybe I’ll try squirrel.

Did you end up doing that? Very awesome man, good for you.

Thanks for watching.

This dish would be awesome with rabbit.

Thanks for watching.

+mike butler We call it "Chicken of the Tree". The trick is the aging process.

Next time I get one we will do a video

+mike butler I'd greatly appreciate it... thanks

THE BEST way I have ever cooked squirrels. Enjoy.

Thanks for watching.

Me too!! Imma try this next time I go camping

So far, RU-vid has not flagged this one. Been here a couple of years and we have much more on our channel page.

Difference in the light gravy and brown gravy is the length of time you cook the rue. The longer you cook it the browner it gets.

We just did rabbit 2 weeks ago so you have to subscribe and check out the channel page for what you missed.

You can age meat without refrigeration. I'm sure there are times and temperatures available on Google.

Peggy Hunter Excellent question!

When is it legal to hunt Squirrel?

Down here in coastal South Carolina, we only have Grey and Fox squirrel. However, I have boar and bear hunted the upper western mountains of NC for yrars and what the locals identified as "Boomers" were a very small species of squirrel know as Red Squirrels and got their nickname because of the loud barking noise they make. Did you, me or the locals miss something in identification?

@@greengiant7439 You be right.. I just fixed it. I was tired and I had typed "not so big" but in messing with my words, it changed/errased some words. They are, indeed, a small squirrel which make a big noise. You could eat em, but it would take a lot... Lol. I was referring to the big, fat, light greys that were good. It was early am, I wasn't conscious enuff... Lol Point remains, squirrel is good if you do it right. A lot of people don't like alternative protiens because they are "gamey." But, if you clean them right and let them hang a while (or fridge, whatever is right) the enzymes go to work and break down the meat and fats and they loose the gameyness quite a bit. Squirrel, possum, venison, bear can be "definite" in its flavor if not treated right. Thanks for keep in me between the lines.
