I was looking at videos about the efficacy of the Squirrelinator trap when I came across this recipe video. I must confess my first reaction was "whaaaaat!!!!". But , as I continued watching, it made perfect sense to me. We in North America have narrowed down the definition of food, especially meat, to the point where we don't see anything that isn't beef, pork, lamb or poultry - purchased from a supermarket - as legitimate for the table. We are former city folk who now live in a rural area with herds of deer, armies of chipmunks, squirrels, game birds, you name it. Yet there is a surprising amount of poverty and reliance on social programmes in our county because no one here (including us, to be fair) seems to have thought of simply harvesting the available abundance. Sure, there are a few hunters here and there who venture out during hunting season to bag the odd deer or duck, if they're lucky. But then it's back to the supermarket to buy pre-killed and packaged protein that's pumped full of anti-biotics, growth hormones and heaven knows what else. I have a very destructive squirrel problem both in my food garden and in my extensive flower beds. You've given me food for thought (bad pun unintentional)!
Hi Dave, sous vide is a great way to cook squirrel and we have a video all about it on our channel. Pan-frying is great if you need to put squirrel on the table quickly. We appreciate your viewership!
Jesus you yanks are crazy!😅😂 iv been eating scuddy my whole life as an ex english gamekeeper, its got a lovely taste and yur ruining it with all these rubs? Do you put rubs bbq on everything? 😂😢
I notice you always say that squirrel is organic but I would say in most cases that isn't true. In urban areas the squirrels surely forage and eat human scraps that aren't organic. In rural areas most all crops that squirrels would eat aren't organic. As such, most wild game can't truly be considered organic.
We don't eat city squirrels. We only eat squirrels that live in the woods. Also after you skin the squirrel and make the cut to remove the entrails, examine the entrails for wigglers....these are parasites, throw the squirrel away.

Thank you for sharing your story, and hope that you can enjoy a delicious squirrel soon!
You’re very true! I hunt squirrels all the time but usually have the woods to myself because nobody else does it.
Our ancestors survived on what they could hunt and fish
Squirrel is delicious and tastes a lot like almond chicken, great with rice and chinese chow mein noodles. 🤤
Great tutorial. I recently got info trapping. Preparing for bad times. Thanks.
Lovely
Would it make sense to sous vide the squirrel and then deep fry or panfry it? Thanks for the videos

I hope the squirrel is okay
Haha!
Definitely not.
Lmao
Says every peta ever
Should definitely try marinating the meat the Asian way. Here's a short explaining it th-cam.com/users/shortsI40A_trxi7k?si=8LwaaOjXooJ_XyR4
I would have used cornmeal and left the pepper out.also the garlic is ok.
Been trying to eat one for about 7 years now, one of these days....
Know where I can purchase some squirrel to cook and eat?
Squirrel is not sold in most grocery stores, but check out our website if you want to learn how to trap them yourself!
Diet has nothing to do with the term organic.
Thanks
SMH so not country. So many mistakes. Biggest was the word bbq. It’s a type of meat not an event. That’s a cookout. Y’all really need to learn this.

Jeez. That is exactly the definition of organic skippy.
I bet you're a hoot at parties
All organic really means is that it contains carbon. So technically everything on earth is pretty much organic.
Clean that filthy fucking stove.
Midnight snacks right there
