chrismdd 787 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Lovely evening (aren't they all recently) so thought a nice couple of hours up the copse. Amazed at the growth of the nettles so had to choose a spot where anything shot could be retrieved. Only fired three shots but came away with a couple of woodies and a squirrel. That's lunch sorted for me and the ferrets tomorrow. 13 Quote Link to post

Found some more pigeon breasts in the freezer so did a whole lunch for a family of four. Lightly fried pigeon breast on fresh toast with fried mushrooms, peppers, onions and tomatoes. All plates were cleared so obviously a success with the boys. The ferrets got the rest of the pigeon carcasses as well as the squirrel. I must have a go at trying squirrel one day. 2 Quote Link to post

If they feed on hazel and chestnut , the they have a taste of lamb and duck . My mates keep asking if I have any squirrels they can have , at first they turned there noises up at the thought , but now they love it 4 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,558 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yep, we always fry the squirrels. Jackets off and straight in the frying pan, American style, delicious ! By the way, excellent shooting Chris 3 Quote Link to post

Being bothered to skin and prep them is the biggest hurdle for me, but I reckon they make great eating 2 Quote Link to post
