Justin, so precious seeing you w/your Daddy. You look just like him & Master Brody looks just like his Big Sister & Mamma but I know he's your little man. You're training him right, when he gets older, he will not depart from it as I see the way your Daddy did for you. We struggle and may wander, but the Lord welcomes us back when we come back to our roots and our faith. This episode really touched me and warmed my heart. You're a good man Justin. Blessing and Love to you, Michelle & the children and all the critters....and Roscoe 🐕

I loved this video. Brody is absolutely just precious. And Justin you’re sooo blessed to still have your daddy. Mines been gone for over two years now. Their wisdom is sooo important and I pray Brody gets a good education of it from him. Keepers and doers of the old ways are so important. ❤🙏🏼

Yes i am very bless and try to cherish every moment. I put my family in these videos because one day that may be all i have left

@@SpiritoftheOutdoorsamen. You don’t know how true that is. God comes swiftly sometimes. He came for my momma like that. She was here one minute and gone the next basically. So I don’t blame you at all. All I have now are pictures and a few old videos on the camcorder and phone. 😢 I know she’s with Jesus though and that is my biggest comfort in this world. She was praising Jesus just basically minutes before she was taken. ❤🙌🏼🙏🏼

Thank you. Im waiting till cool weather hits to go back but id rather squirrel hunt than anything

[@olskool3967]

Justin in my 66 years on this earth we have always boiled the squirrels for about 40min then fried them, it makes them tender. yours looks tasty. i like that fryer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nice justin i dont know what kings eat but that kind of food is fit for a king in my book

This is honestly one of the best flavored meats in my opinion. Good rich flavor

[@TheSurvivalBuzz]

Never fried squirrel. Hoping to try soon. Thanks for the lesson..

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Its really good. Lot of small bones but well worth it

[@davidblake7998]

Some people call squirrels tree rats ,I love them enjoy brother.

Thank you. Ive herd em called that myself

[@j.l.327]

I have trouble telling them young ones too and i'm looking through a scope, but i would trade them big ones for little ones anyday. I think this possibly the best squirrel cook and eat video out there and i seen a bunch. I started using them game shears on them dudes about 7-8 yrs ago and can't put em down. Hope to see ya do some dumpligs or stew with squirrel one day. Thanks for the video, yall really know how to do it right.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Definitely gonna cook some stew when it cools off .

[@Franciso-so1bg]

Great hunt and great looking supper. I haven't had fresh squirrel meat in a few years. I like them fried, but my favourite is to boil them up and make dumplings. Same as chicken and dumplings, but made tastier with squirrel. I haven't had an opportunity to hunt mushrooms, but those look yummy as well.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Ive never been a huge fan of dumplings and my whole family thinks im crazy for it.

[@decorahnord9902]

Oh I loved the togetherness, food and sweet little Brody, im trying to get my husband out to get some squirrel, can I take you're awesome hunting dog...God bless your family...

[@gregoryselner7261]

I will have to give your way of cooking squirrels a try. I’ve always cooked them the way my mom showed me. We brown them in bacon grease and then cook them in a pressure cooker. They come out very tender. Your way looks very good as well.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Its hard to beat how mama done it i dont care how it was lol

I saw one of them seasoning shaker thingamajigs at Academy once. I was just window shopping at the time (broke) so now I need to scout me out one, cause that thing is just the bee's knees!!.... I wonder how many folks read the title to this video like I did... FLYING Squirrels was stuck in my head even after I saw that I read it wrong. I was plumb DETERMINED to look at it from all angles to see if it really WAS flying squirrels after all! Your supper looked mighty tasty!

I am 62, my dad was a hunter so we ate many squirrel dinners growing up, my mom always bake it, never had it deep fried but it looked real good.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

This is my favorite way of cooking them

[@Ifitfitz22]

I'm an animal lover myself; matter of fact, they are some of my favorite things to eat lol. Squirrel was looking good brother. I have a nephew named Brodie and when he was about your son's age he wanted some scrambled eggs, and when I asked him how many he said "20" so it may be a 4-5 year old boy thing haha. I only cooked him 2 eggs that day btw

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Lol thats like me asking him how hot it was that day and he said fourteen hot lol

[@dort7402]

Morning Justin, good harvest brother. Don't know if ya ever tried a paint brush to clean ur mushrooms but it woks very good. I use a medium stiff bristles 2in or sometimes I will use a 2-3 in hog bristles brush for them pesky bugs then I'll put em in some salt water over nite to finish any that I may have missed. Works for me. Anyway Awsome video I'm sure ya'll enjoyed that meal. As for them, Aminal folks who have sensitive eyes n hearts , God put everything on earth for us to use wether good or bad. But when things go side ways they will wake up , pray for em cuz they b the ones 1st in line for that mark. God bless ya'll.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yea your right. Gods word says rise kill and eat

[@Returntothesoil]

We had squirrels getting in our garden ,they ate all my fall beet seedlings and swiss chard ! I got so mad ! Ive tried everything to get them out. So i seen one in the garden last week from my window. I went and told my son to get his gun and see if he could get him. I dont like doing that bc we live in a subdivision. But it was the squirrel or my tomatos. So he got his gun silently opened our patio door and got him right behind the ear first try! Oh he was so proud of himself! It was his first kill at 17. Weve been meaning to go hunting and jusr haven't had the time. He was so excited he called up his buddies to go get a few more for dinner. Where we live our back yard is right by a big wooded area and creek. So they went in there and got 3 more! Nobody called the police thank the lord. We have some nosey neighbors, that may freak out and call us killers if they knew we were eating squirrel we killed. Thats what i hate the most about living in a sub division. I can't wait to get out and go back to the mountains. My family us from Estill county Kentucky and i grew up hunting and fishing and breaking green beans 😅 So i try to teach my kids the same. Its just hard in this area. Where we are is not too populated but its still not country.

Hey Justin! The life of any prey animal... squirrels, rabbits, etc., is shockingly hard, short, and usually ends violently! It's not like they are endangered, and if their populations are not controlled in leads to a whole new set of problems. Life in the Wild of Ma Nature is not a Disney Movie. Roscoe catching one ranks right up there with you catching a fish with no hook!
