A lot of the toughness comes from over cooking also.I'm having broiled chicken,rice and steamed cauliflower.

Squirrel is some good eating...even if they are tree rats.

Me personally, I like it not to be frozen. Reason being (this may sound bad), I like to beat the meat with a tenderizing hammer, breaking up the meats fibers to make it more tender. Here is how most people screw up making a steak, if you have a gas grill, crank it to the highest level, let sit for 15 minutes make sure its hotter than hades, put the unfrozen steak on the grill, depending how you take your meat, only flip your meat once. Here is the big kicker, when your steak is seared from the grill, let it sit for at least 5-10..

You got it...high heat and let it rest when it comes off the grill...I cover mine in foil for 5 minutes when it comes off the grill and then pour the juices back over it.

Between chicken and rabbit. Not that I am some survivalist, I just enjoy food that I can kill n grill..like pigeon for instance, phenomenal.

When I lived in MI. squirrel season opened 2 weeks before bow season. I'd use those 2 weeks to check out all my tree stands and scout some. I always used a .22 and I'd get between 30-40 fox squirrels during this period. I'd clean them and freeze'em. Then I oven baked them all at once different ways and take to work for a lot of folks. They were GONE in a few minutes.

YEA THEIR GOOD!!!!!

Then I moved to TN. and all they got around here are these little greys EVERYWHERE. It takes 3 of them to equal 1 Fox squirrel. Fox squirrels are far and few between around here.

The last time I ate squirrel was in about 1960; yes, that's too long. A cousin and I went out to a farm where I had hunted for several years. I don't remember how many acres; but there was a creek bed with some pecan trees on the banks. I've sat in that creek bed under some pecan trees just before sunrise. After the sun starts to rise, the squirrels began their day. That's when I began using the little .410 shotgun.
There was a field, about 10 acres, that was used for pasture. It was a great place for hunting rabbits. If someone was with me, one of us would walk about 1/4 of the distance from the fence to the center, the other would do the same on the other side. The field was long, but not very wide. Most time if we walked the length of the field and then back, we'd have several rabbits.
The cousin and I went to the farm about mid morning. We just walked the creek banks for a while and killed 3 squirrels. We then walked the field down and then back, killing 5 rabbits. When we got home, we skinned and cleaned the critters. We took them to the women who butchered and cooked them.

Up here in the North East/New England, in early November, the squirrels get fat, porking themselves with acorn, walnuts, hickory nuts, etc...I actually hunt mine with a Matador air rifle, with a suppressor and a scope..and my squirrel call is rubbing two quarters together...yea, I am a redneck..lol..

Yea I actually have/had more fun squirrel hunting with the .22 then I did archery deer hunting. Maybe I didn't at first... but after I got many many deer squirrel hunting then became my number 1 passion. But I did have a blast taking folks out I taught to shoot archery and helping them get their first deer with a bow. I always got more geeked up helping them then I did getting one myself.

Sloppy joes tonight.
Four squirrels around the wood lines. A female and three young. One young black,one grey one mixed. Momma mixed too. Grey posed for a shot today but like the young rabbit that showed up are on reserve in case of a light pantry.
Failed yesterday on squirrel on state land. Got busted several feet into the woods by a sentry that holed up when I clanked near it.. Did reclear a discreet path out to swamp for deer season though.

I actually tried to eat real food tonight, if you consider Thai takeout real food that is. not sure what I ordered since I couldn't pronounce it, but has shrimp,onions,broccoli,rice and eggplant with a peanut/coconut curry sauce.
regretting having ate it, because if I were to breathe on a match...it would probably ignite it

I was detecting the wet sand at a beach last summer and a guy surf fishing pulled one in the same size. I took a picture for him and he asked if I wanted the fish. When I got home my wife was happier over the fish than if I had found a gold ring. We fileted and fried it...man was it good.
