Actually I shot 2 and the guys I was with gave me theirs. Now I know why they gave them to me. Took me bout 2 hours to clean them and get them into the freezer!
We were out pheasant hunting Saturday (opening day in Kansas) going from feild to feild. Not seeing much, couple wasted long shots... Then we got near some trees and stream and started staulking squirel. Ellusive little buggers! Sneaky too! In the end we got 4, 2 with my 12g, 2 with 20 gauges. Remington 870's.
I'm new to small game. Before yesterday the only things I ever killed were 1 pheasant with car, 1 deer with car, 1 camprobber bird with board, and 1 deer with 12g slug. So, I think I did okay with skinning and cleaning. And now they're temporarily preserved. What's a good way to cook them for eating? 1 lady told us Saturday to boil for 15 or so minutes, then bread them like ya do chicken, then fry them. Other ideas? Any other "best ways" ya'alled like to share?
