How did the squirrel turn out for you?
Soaking them in buttermilk is certainly a good idea. You never know what they've been into.
Do you do the same for possum?

i rinsed the squrill meats in hot water from the spigot, that removes any bugs or worms or other such pests.
I have them in a marinate in the ice box right now and will fry the m up for supper. I have them marinading in buttermilk and pepper and onions and I'll fry them in some bacon grease.

I've never had squirrel myself (and don't plan to either,) but our babysitter makes it at least once a week. She always just breads them and frys them like pork chops in a big cast iron dutch oven.

How do make the squirrels safe to eat? They can be really infested with worms and insects and other vermin.
Do you soak them in vinegar or bleach (diluted, of course) or something?

Your post got me thinking with some of the replies about never seeing a recipe for Squirrel I figured I would do some searching for you. I found a lot of great sites with lots of great recipes.
These links may have a new one not shared here that may sound tasty
This site has 32 squirrel recipes and has lots of other game recipes since hubby seems to like to hunt it may be a good site for you to save as a favorite
http://www.justgamerecipes.com/inxsqi.html
this is another site with lots of game recipes and a page full of Squirrel ones
http://www.backwoodsbound.com/zsquir.html
Hope this help.

If you have a favorite rabbit recipe you can substitute the meat with squirrel.

Hello, Ozarkook. I've never seen red squirrels around where we live, although we have plenty of the gray variety. Game, and hunting, is certainly not for everyone, but when you live in an area, like I do, where some forms wild animals can easily become overpopulated, hunting at least gives you a direct link to the meat on your table.
My husband hunts and has been tempted by the annoying squirrels that steal the wild bird seed, but I've drawn the line at his taking pot shots from our porch.
As with all game, the important thing is the quality of the field dressing and cleaning of the meat. My rule of thumb is "you kill it, you clean it and get it table ready.." I've only cooked squirrel a couple of times and we pan fried them. That worked fine. With so many, I would also suggest a recipe like Humdinger suggested for a stew.
