From the Department of Hillbilly Affairs archives comes an important ‘How To Video’ from “The Huntress” (circa The Outdoor Channel Show 1999): How to hunt squirrel and make sandwiches.
Let the gun-totting Earth-mother, Heidi Wilson, show you how to safely bag one of these tasty little varmints to help keep your larder full during lean times. “I promised him a squirrel sandwich and that is what he’s gonna get after school.”
Just in time for football season. Happy hunting, kids! ~ PK

If we want to do this, I suggest convening in my backyard. It’s like Times Square for squirrels. Plus beer fridge is close. Music is good. We can play Squirrel Hunter – Varmint Hunting Evolved on the Xbox to warm up first. Bring your own guns.
I need a squirrel slingshot for my place.
We have a real slingshot at the “country house”. And it’s for squirrels.
If you believe in the 100 mile diet (or 50 yard diet in the case) – I think this is a great approach. No lie. It’s a great way to reconnect with your food.
How many times have you wanted to reach out, grab the head of the squirrel that is nibbling a nut out of your hand, snap its neck and make a confit for the winter months? I’ve lost count my self.
Respect the Huntress.
Conran’s Butler’s Wharf Chop House in the UK features an squirrel menu each season (when their fattening up on acorns) which is supposed to be pretty tasty. Squirrel – the new jamon?
you all are twisted…fucking love it! I would not eat any city squirrels though. I was in a wilderness survival program once and we were left by ourselves for 4 days with only some crackers and basic supplies as a final test, I had a wrist rocket and pellets that I carried and ate alot of roasted squirrel durring those 4 days and must say they tasted ok. Cya at Talent’s place for the annual squirrel shoot and roast.
