Opening day of Squirrel Season

Nope no diseases.  They are a very sweet tasting meat.  I like to boil mine for about 15 min, then roll them in a batter and fry them.  Another favorite way is to put them in with a couple of cans of cream of mushroom soup in the crock pot with carrots and new potatoes, really really good!!

Oh man that sounds good!

Damn I miss those days .....It must open a little earlier than in PA ...Always started around the middle of October ...Being there in the fall is something people need to see if they have never witnessed all the fall colors ..... Fox squirrels ?? Those were always my favorite ,,,Big as house cats ...

I too used to boil the quarters for awhile and then put them on a rack with barbeque sauce and put in the oven.  Made them tender up pretty good.  Unless one has squirrel hunted back in midwest or east, it's hard to describe just how much fun it is.  I always thought of it as the big game hunt of the small game world.

Great pictures Fred.  Every time I make a trip to see my brothers down in Louisiana we try to work a morning squirrel hunt in.  The most fun small game hunting I've done.
