Amanda and I was talking last week about there aren't many posts on Squirrel hunting or how we prepare them. This meal started over a week ago when I harvested the Squirrels. After cleaning them I place them in a Ziplock bag with only water, (salt only makes them tougher) place the bag in the fridge. I leave it for a week or longer. Now cut them up, take all the legs off then the lower back section. If they are the larger Abert Squirrel you can get some meat off of the back between the front shoulders. In one bowl mix GP flour with salt and pepper, in another beat four eggs. In a skillet heat your oil over medium heat. Dredge pieces in the flour then eggs and back to the flour. Start with the back sections and hind legs, turn after four minutes turn. Place the front legs in pan. Turn all pieces after four minutes then cover. Turn another two times. When done remove from pan, turn up heat to high and place remaining flour into pan stir until golden brown. Add cold water to pan along with salt and pepper and stir. Turn off hear when the gravy is the desired consistency. During the covered cooking I finished the mashed potatoes and home canned green beans. Enjoy with your favorite beverage. (Bass Beer)
