This is a follow up post to my hunting adventure. Being the first time I have tried such a meat I wanted to share my experience about eating it.
The meat we harvested from a single squirrel is enough for a couple meals. We decided to cook it in the crockpot for about twelve hours on low. The smell of the meat the next morning had a nutty smell to it. Must have been the diet of this forest squirrel. It was deep in the woods and probably only ate tree nuts.
I added well water, apple cider vinegar, some salt and pepper and then came back to check on it the next morning.
Going through all the bones I carefully worked the meat to make sure nothing hard was inside. I kept coming across bones but luckily none got into my sandwich.
Once the meat was throughly deboned I toasted a bun and my usual vegetables. And added some cheese and onions to sandwich bread. Some spicy mustard and mayo was added to the bread as well. Some extra mayo and mustard was added to the plate just to dip my vegetables in.
I enjoyed the sandwich and plan on using the rest of the squirrel meat soon. Not sure what I should do with the other quarter or so pound of it, but I will find a use. Might just eat more of it with my veggies.
Special thanks to for getting me the meat. I am giving him half the rewards to this post.
He says some people will trade deer meat for squirrel meat. I think I need to eat some more of it to really tell if I like it or not. But my stomach handled it okay and I feel good the next day.
