Took away the boy's .410 cause he was killing more game than he/we could process when we got to Texas.

Restricting him to a .177 pump air rifle helped, but he still gets anywhere from 4 to 15 squirrels every morning by 9am (typically running around barefoot).

Any ideas on what to do with 40+ squirrels? (80% bucks). Does deboned squirrel freeze well? Maybe thinking some kind of squirrel casserole?

Last couple mornings' haul:

I was up at a friends place in Knoxville a few years ago for the Bama-UT game. They skinned a squirrel, threw it in a bag of marinade overnight, stuck a skewer through it, and threw it on the grill.

We had squirrel on a stick being passed around the tailgate. Scared the hell outta all the girls, but it tasted amazing.

That's brings back some good memories.
My boy would get up early & do the same thing & expected me to cook his kill. Of course I did....I then went to McDonalds for a salad for myself. :)

Those are some big grey squirrels. I had to look clsoer to make sure they weren't red/fox squirrels.

I southern fry the young ones. It's pretty dam good. Have never done it with mature ones but imagine if you season & soak 'em for a few days in the fridge it could tenderize them enough.

Gumbo's not my fav but a lot of people I know love them in one.

Squirrel gravy and squirrel jambalaya are the only two ways I cook it.

Fried Squirrel or Squirrel-n-Dumplings would be my suggestions.

We always froze ours whole because we always ate them whole, so I don't know how well deboned squirrel keeps.

Cook in a crock pot, make him debone them, put the meat in a gumbo with deer sausage. It is awesome
