I knew he wasn't you...too good looking! ;D
I hate cleaning squirrels, their hides are really tough to get off. Rabbits are much better if you have a choice.

We need to have videos like these to tackle the unpleasant chore of dressing wildgame if your not the average hunter used to doing this. Thanks for posting! Keep 'em coming!  |

Too much work. I perfer my method. Wish I could do vids.
Only use knife if can't tear the skin. Do it when they fall out of the tree, much easier when squirrels is limp and no rigo set in yet. Also lets squirrel cool off faster and without as much chance of spoiling. Simply carry a 1 gallon zip lock with you.
1. Make small cut in skin on the back. If no knife tear with fingers or use semi sharp stick.
2. Work 2 fingers on each hand under skin opposite of each other.
3. Pull. Yeah it's somewhat tough, but VERY doable.
4. Plug skin to neck and front legs, same towards back to tail and rear legs.
5. At this point break legs at 1st joint. Break tail as close to body as you can. Wring off head.
6. Make small tear in thin part of gut with thumb. Remove entrails.
7. Rinse if possible in nearby water, but not necessary if none around. Put in bag and keep on hunting.
Takes me about 2 minutes. When I get back to camp/house wherever, I finish them up in another 2 minutes or so.
Just the way my granddad taught me. Simple man.
Sorry Orly to rob thread.
Jimmy

Jimmy You do it the exact same way that I was taught Jimmy. My Uncle is the one that taught me. He called it taking off their 'pants and shirt' Back in the day, before Muzzleloading Season for Deer became so popular. The October opener for Squirrel was a huge deal here. We actually had "Squirrel Camp" There would be 20-30 guys in camp and we would hit the Ouachita River Bottoms and just wear the Squirrels out! When you have 75-100 to clean after the morning hunt and then the same for the afternoon hunt you learn to clean Squirrels REAL FAST! |
