I cooked one for the first time a year ago. I skined and gutted salt and peppered and put on gril with some wet wood in the flames. removed when done and covered in bbq sauce. Tough but good.

I foudn it a pain in the arse to get all the meat off though.

The down home stand-by works with just about anything and is close to the top of my list. Brown the little rats then cook them down with onions in a gravy.

I've only had squirrel once and like you, it was tough as hell. But I've heard if done right it can be pretty decent.

Brown em and put em in your basic gravy setup. Squirrels are without a doubt one of my favorite things to eat and hunt.

That's what we did. Some dude had some dogs with collars that had some GPS deal, so he knew when they had tree'd. Then we'd ride the rangers to them, put down our beer and start shooting squirrels. Pretty damn fun...

The best to me is a little salt, pepper, flour and fried. Nothing better than fried squirrel.
We seperate the young from the old ones when we clean them. If there balls are as large as yours than cook them in the oven with gravey, over rice, or pressure cooker. The young ones are better fried.

What if you have abnormally large balls? Or if your son is really young and is helping you clean them?

It was pretty fun. We also found some sheds in food plots while we were riding/hanging out/waiting to shoot another squirrel. It's something I plan on doing more. We did it on another buddies hunting place, and will continue to rotate through all of our places until we have hunted them all or season is over...
