What's for dinner tonight?

What a treat it would be if he brought 6’ of those to the GTG!

Not sure I can pull that off-no White Castle either since I have basketball before the GTG.
However, I am thinking about smuggling some venison empanadas in for an app.

once you get past the stigma it's a ton of fun. You're reducing those noisy critters for next deer season, getting in the woods for a "fun" hunt, getting some post season scouting in and honestly once you get it down, cleaning a squirrel takes only a few minutes and then just throw em in the fryer and dip in your favorite wing sauce. The kids love them.

That's the skinning method I use....Slicker than a finger in the azz...

I used to ring them around the middle and pull both ways...Works OK  if you do it immediately after shooting the squirrel, but once they cool it gets much harder...The tail method works well even after rigor mortis has set in, and you end up with much less hair on the meat..

Lunch ..... Frogs Legs and Fried Cod !

I believe I asked once before, but can't remember. What is this recipe? I love meatballs. My Mom (not italian) makes them great to my liking. However, my wife (100% italian) does not make them good enough for me. I may start to make them myself if this recipe is good.

I have skinned mine like that, so easy. I have even played with air compressor under skin.  Lol

Not tonight but definitely in a day or two some yummy pulled beaver sliders got 47 pounds from today’s haul 

[crappyice]

My first stab at buttered chicken(which has surprisingly little butter) and some homemade naan bread. We liked it but feel it could use a little spice to add a kick at the end.

Daughter uses siracha to top off the spice level. Looking good

Looks good.

 

Tip I learned years ago camping making "hobo meals" before said meals became cool, that I carried over into home cooking. Now, when I bake sausage at home I use a glass baking dish, cover with foil and only allow enough heat to get out to prevent poaching. The next day the sausage isn't dry after reheating.

Nice tip! I thank you for that.  
 

I actually only bake the sausages to give a browned texture, so they do not look anemic.  I slice them THICK, add them to the peppers/onion/garlic/diced tomatoes this way all the flavors merge together.  
 

i cut everything VERY thick for a nice hearty meal after hours, and hours of simmering.

First neck roast attempt...this is only half the boneless neck...truly a massive deer.

Don’t let the brown foam scare you - that’s from the stout!

Into the oven for 4-5 hours!!!!

Wow I had beaver once at work a guy brought it in. To this day it’s the best game animal I’ve ever eaten. I’m going to give trapping them a shot. Do you grid it all up?

I agree with the hair part too for sure. I also find that if you bring a large ziploc with you that by the time you're done with a quick skinning the surrounding squirrels are back out after the gun shot noise wears off. Some field wipes and you're good to go again.

woah. heard beaver (haha) wasn't great do to the oil/stink gland, but the tail was decent? thoughts?

[Otto]

I've heard meat is delicious, but the tail tastes like you are eating straight lard fat.  So I have heard, would love to try it sometime!
