And .22 is the way to go. Nimrod, you just need some good glass on top of the .22 Stops you from wondering if you got a mouth full of shot

IMO........... The best squirrel gun is a over/under 22LR/410

Interesting. I always cut a branch and ran it through the feet to carry mine. Kinda miss hunting em but I don't like to eat em.

Good eating if fixed right.

I sure wish I would have been there to help clean those. I would still be working on mine and when I got done it would look like a werewolf with the mange. I can eat a mess of squirrel with anyone. Matter of fact, if there was a such thing as a squirrel eating pro staff, I'd be on it.

Nice.

I can skin one faster than most and prefer to skin than the nasty part of cleaning. Bring your scatter gun and we can harvest and cook up all you care to eat!

Don't be tempting me.

I can handle everything but getting the hide off. I guarantee I have ate more road kill squirrels than anyone in the country. Carol always hates it when I hit one and stop and pick him up. Nothing more deadly on a squirrel than a P235 75R16 to the head.

True that! And it also makes the cleaning job alot less messy if they are all head shot. My buddy gets mad at me when i destroy the "best part of the squirrel to eat!" But we dont have like opinions there. Im a back man myself.

I used a tree branch through the feet until I was shown the boot lace trick. Either way makes it handy.

What's the boot lace trick? Hey nimble if you cook em I will try em. Most one I tried tough and gamey

**arkcrappie** · 10-18-2014, 05:24 PM

Same principal. Cut a slit in the feet and string it. Keeps em with their tails over their back and the body stretched out. Makes cleaning easier.
If we have a gathering this next spring, I'll cook some for you to try. I don't do tough squirrels.
