Good shooting, I'm heading to the woods this weekend for some squirrel control. Unfortunately the woods are so overrun you have to be careful not to shoot the old geezers that aren't even edible.

That's what a crockpot is for! Lol. The old Kentucky way is to coat and fry in oil till brown in cast iron, drain off oil, add water, cover and steam till tender, 30-60min. I like it the other way around so its crispy, steam or boil first, then fry till brown. The grays can be fried just like chicken without further.

Yeah the sloppy gravy goop isn't my favorite either. I would much rather have a crisp coating.

I miss shooting and cooking big grey squirrels growing up in Connecticut. Where I'm at now its just millions of those little red ones unless I take a road trip.

Those Reds are not welcome. We shoot them on the spot. They chew on everything, house, garage, etc. Always heard no good eating either.

Some say around here they are bad and others say good, Im sure it has a lot to do with how they are prepared. I thought about killing a dozen or more and cutting off the hind quarters at the waist like frogs but there are tasty big critters around here so I don't bother.
