My dad wasn't much on hunting, so what I learned about hunting was from my grandfather, my friends and my cousins. I remember the first squirrel I got with my Ruger 10/22. I cleaned it and had it soaking a pot of salt water in the kitchen sink. My little brother came home from school, went into the kitchen, saw the squirrel, then ran outside screaming, "Steve killed a monkey! Steve killed a monkey!". lol

I shot me a squirrel once, a good squirrel, a pecan and acorn eatin squirrel, stuck it on a stick, roasted it over a fire like Clint Eastwood in a western movie. That dang thing was tougher than boot leather. Oh I ate it, but I think I'll try your recipie next time. Thanks....

You might try soaking them in salted water for a few hours

I dress out squirrel like rabbit and marinate them with Wishbone Italian Dressing in a ziplock bag. After a few hours I grill them with old school Kraft regular bbq sauce. My momma used to soak squirrels in salt water to draw the blood out and then she'd do another long soak in buttermilk. Then she's chicken fry them. Great...now I'm hungry. :)

[@snickelfritz4179]

As a long time squirrel hunter, I really appreciate a new way to make them tasty. I think this recipe makes a good deal of sense because squirrels are very lean and this seems like it may make the most of the little fat they possess. My favorite squirrel recipe involves a crock pot and red wine and then throw them in skillet and brown like chicken.
