My dad wasn't much on hunting, so what I learned about hunting was from my grandfather, my friends and my cousins. I remember the first squirrel I got with my Ruger 10/22. I cleaned it and had it soaking a pot of salt water in the kitchen sink. My little brother came home from school, went into the kitchen, saw the squirrel, then ran outside screaming, "Steve killed a monkey! Steve killed a monkey!". lol
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lol!!
😂
Something to always remember. Good story.
This guy here... hes living the life
@@5.3pachyderm15 oh yes
Love Wild Onions with deer and steaks... Wild mushrooms are nice too!!!
Oh yes!
I'm going hunting for the first time ever this coming weekend and I cannot Express how excited I am
@@marrchaney9206 cool
I can’t wait to try your recipe with my 8 year old grandson soon. I have both wild onions and garlic right in my yard. Plus other wild edibles that I have taught him to eat. I just got him his very own 177 pellet gun for Christmas and he’s shooting pretty good at all the targets we set up.🙂
Got any squirrels with that .177 yet?
@@jeremyblackwater439 I can’t confirm,😉.
@@UNoBugMe1the process must continue, effectively being able to handle and operate a hunting firearm should be a required necessity for every American....especially if we the people expect to remain the most free country in the world.
That's so awesome. I got a 4yo and 2yo girls and a 2month old boy. When the girls get older I definitely want to teach firearm safety as well as squirrel huntin :)
Its guys like this that will definitely find a way to survive in any situation.
This is living and Bushcraft, not like the pansies in the world today.
Good job sir
Debra and Lance are precisely the idiots who will perish without just in time services.
Trip and smash a tooth dickhead
@Lance Teodecki would it stand to reason that the little SJW pansy stumbled on the wrong video . Stay sheltered with your glorified piece of paper , tough guy
@Rico Suave hope you're not referring to me ladies man, EazyE wannabe gangster
when my kids are 18yrs old I am giving them everything I have and hiking into the Alaskan wilderness with the best gear I can carry on my back and just live.
cool buddy go for it pal
@Holy Hand Grenades who said anything about abandoning? Im starting a homestead from scratch. Giving them everything I dont need and going. They will know where I am and can come see me anytime they want.
Make me miss my dad and my hunting trips, first learning to hunt squirrels to deer hunting. Enjoy when you can. Make memories for life.
Amen friend thanks a lot
thanks for watching you all i really enjoyed doing this vid it was cold but that meat was good !!!!!!have a great day
Mike Reed Outdoors what did you do with thd liver, kidneys and heart?
They'll add great flavor, calories and vitamins to your burger.
Like to see more videos on making tea
Only an idiot would eat a squirrel.
@@msdaisy6949 Only an idiot would watch a video about cooking squirrel if they didnt believe in eating squirrel in the first place. Have a nice day. :)
@@msdaisy6949 Why would they be an idiot? Are squirrels idiots for eating baby birds? What's upsetting about eating a squirrel? I am curious...🤔🤔🤔
Feed the squirrel, gain the trust, snap the neck, enjoy.
lol
Fucked up but very true
Squirrels are always more tender when they experience a profound sense of betrayal.
+Bob Papadopoulos lmao!!! that seriously cracked me up! you made the funniest comment here
or just pop 'em with a 22.
I shot me a squirrel once, a good squirrel, a pecan and acorn eatin squirrel, stuck it on a stick, roasted it over a fire like Clint Eastwood in a western movie. That dang thing was tougher than boot leather. Oh I ate it, but I think I'll try your recipie next time. Thanks....
You might try soaking them in salted water for a few hours
Get a tenderizing hammer
That's so funny. This is the way I would've thought to try it as well. Didn't realize eating minced squirrel is the go to.
I just let mine set in the fridge for a 8-9 day then cook them
PETA is gonna freak out and I love it
I'll cut a tree down and make toilet paper so they can wipe their tears.😢.

My Grandmother used to make squirell soup that my Grandfather had hunted.The soup was delicious.Good memories! Thanks Mike.🐿
@@dawngayle9175 cool
I’m getting back into survivalist stuff again, heading out next month for a few weeks. Always a joy to get new information!
Once upon a time I was a computer engineer living in the family home. Then my greedy brother sent 24 lawyers after me. Lost everything and living in my truck. I got me a pine squirrel today and gave this a try. Damn was it good. But next time I would use two pine squirrels as they are small. Thanks for showing me how to survive.
@@devmeistersuperprecision4155 nice
you could boil those bones to make a broth too.
Squirrel stew. Mmmm mmm.
That's what I would do, how much calcium do you need?

@@mikemcorky5418: I never had it in stew, just barbecued, SO good that way😍
At least crack and get the marrow. Use everything!
Survival skills, you might not ever need them but I like knowing I'm one of the ones that could survive if needed, good way to break young people in is to offer to take them camping. Good video!
@@kevink552 thanks
Subscribed. Awesome. "You'll never go back to squirrel jerky, I gaurantee it.' Assuming anyone's ever had squirrel in any form. Love it.
That's a good way to make a feller hungry. Looked AWESOME. Thanks for sharing Mike. Blessings everyone !!
Hope you enjoy
@@mike451 is it true you can get prion disease from the brains and spinal fluid from the back part of the skeleton?
As a long time squirrel hunter, I really appreciate a new way to make them tasty. I think this recipe makes a good deal of sense because squirrels are very lean and this seems like it may make the most of the little fat they possess. My favorite squirrel recipe involves a crock pot and red wine and then throw them in skillet and brown like chicken.
That sounds good
I dress out squirrel like rabbit and marinate them with Wishbone Italian Dressing in a ziplock bag. After a few hours I grill them with old school Kraft regular bbq sauce. My momma used to soak squirrels in salt water to draw the blood out and then she'd do another long soak in buttermilk. Then she's chicken fry them. Great...now I'm hungry. :)
@@kendo2377 nice
Just ate it with the bone, chopped with a hatchet just like this. Some of the bone was a tad too “formed” still & crunchy, but it was actually really good flavor-wise. Thanks for the vid!
@@pappapinskie5883 thanks
Dang that looks real good, I’m sitting in my back yard got a little feeder set up with peanuts and my gamo loaded, I can’t wait to try squirrel
Hey Mike me and my brother have been thinking of trying some squirrel plenty of them round here in sturgeon county Alberta. We are going to try your recipe some time this week. We have had birch tea and not it sure is nice a nice winter warm up.Thanks again Mike.
I have cooked and eaten squirrels many times, but have never seen one cooked this way. It is interesting. So natural.
@@ThisLifeUSA it’s a natural thing to do
I'm about to eat some squirrel tacos
Rosth. As thought pre.boil your meat change water third time use beef broth. You know pull meat season one more last thing try not to load on meat you may like to have Two
I'll bring the beers!
I wish I could bring myself to try it
That's what I was thinking. Two corn tortillas together like a street taco!
Bone appetite!
Pounded jerky is an essential ingredient in pemmican, along with marrow and tallow * squirrel in Europe in October is as sweet as the hazelnuts on which it fattened.
@@christopherellis2663 nice
That reminds me of how the old timers chopped up pork for sausage just keep cutting over and over I enjoyed this video thank you very much
@@kevingundelach8753 thanks for watching
Thanks man...that was great...I will try this method next time for sure.
@@bazzinator7477 cool
I am 60 years old and retired from the Army and retired from the work force. I live on 16.5 acres surrounded by hundreds of acres. Time to do all the things I wanted to do as an 11 year old boy. Timenfor me to playbagain. I am gonna try to recreate that stone campfire. Anyway, gonna see if I can bag a few squirrels tomorrow and pull up some wild onions from the edge of the pasture and cook them the same way except in a cast iron skillet. Eventually want to try to cook it on a rock. I have the same knife. What kind of hatchet is that and where can I buy one?
@@stevenr.7769 how was it
Very nice I will have to try the pieces of bone cooked and chopped down that is a good way get that little marrow nutrients
Not planning on hunting squirrel anytime soon, but this really helped a lot for research for my book. Thanks!
Got one earlier .. Tried this method.. Man its great! Good stuff!
@@l67swap1 nice
That's the way I've grown to eat them, however you can take it just one step further and make it into gravy with some biscuits. That is my personal favorite squirrel dish. Great vid! I enjoyed it.
@@donlew8222 well thanks
That’s a big challenge. Fried squirrel or stew is just so dam good. I’m going to try this method a few times this year while I’m hunting.
@@helloshklosh4111 how did it work
This was GREAT! I always see folks roasting squirrels whole over a campfire, but, that never looked too appetizing to me. Your way of doing it just sold me on giving it a try. :-) Thanks for sharing.
imasurvivornthriver some people quater them and bread them like wings
My grandmother used to fry the best tasting squirrel every Sunday. Good.
Ok imma find me some rocks and I'm going to make me a cutting board out of Oak I'm going to try this . one of the best videos I've ever seen on outdoor cooking thank you for sharing this with us and God Bless .

Really like your channel buddy! I found you through a comment you left on J&J true outdoor adventures, and glad I did!
You have a new subscriber!
Have a blessed day bud!
well thanks for the sub friend
@@mike451 Roger that buddy!👍
You can have the local people around the campfire, and dancing and singing, "oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ...." Get some herbal tea, wild greens, prepared acorn nuts bread, cat tail and bull rush tubers, water cress, wild berries, and have a potlatch.
Another great video.Thanks for sharing your skills Mike!
@@skellym37061 you are welcome
You're a great teacher and not necessarily just teaching your getting people to realize there's other ways of surviving if something was to happen in our country I'm sure during the Great Depression people were squirrel hunting you can bet on that....
thanks a lot buddy
I love the hatchet that you are using
thanks buddy
Mike Reed Outdoors did you make it yourself? What wood are you using? It looks light weight
I'm with hillbillyndabush. Been wanting to see more about chaga but it seems most of the birch in SW wisconsin are paper/white birch. Not sure about locating the 'great chaga'. Thanks for the video Mike! Looked tastes
That is a new one for me. That looks great! I'm gonna try it for sure.
A young squirrel is best fried like chicken as they are tender. And the pan gravy is the best gravy on earth.
That is some good looking squirrel.
@@davidsmith731 good stuff
This video changed my life!!!! When squirrel is in season I will try this. Thanks for video bro
@@bombdizzlermoney166 you are welcome
Ummmmm Deliiiiiiish . Thank you so much for sharing with us Mr. Mike. Blessings to you and yours !
I never seed no squirrel cooked that way. I aim to try it soon. Squirrel and dumplins is hard to beat. God bless.
you bet they are pal
Thanks for the great comment I love your videos , very relaxing and informative
your welcome pal
Oh ya I'll definitely be trying that, never heard of pulverized bones but I'm gonna give it a go.

Great video! thank you so much! Ill be trying this next time i pull an all day squirrel hunt.
@@Me-ob5qc thanks
When I was in South America Colombia I ate guinea pig and it was good it is a squirrel and I grew up in the south in Florida I lived in Georgia and I lived in Tennessee I ate squirrel and rabbit I wouldn't be so surprised if I wouldn't eat a rat if I had to...... keep some garlic and some onion on hand boy you got you something good right there... are you can eat a whole dirty possum or or raccoon which I've ate raccoon it's good taste like chicken...
Mike, you did an excellent job there.
Thanks Mike for good advice. Sorry I missed the live show. I was out enjoying the woods somewhere on Little Walker mountain.
@@JeffMeadowsOutdoors nice
good video. people like you are helping me get ready for when tshtf

@@briantunzi2462 ok
This guy is awesome he is using a log as a cutting board and he is using a tomahawk. Great job love the video, that is how a man make his meals lol.
thanks
Never seen squirrel hamburger before.. Your recipe looks great..
This looks good, I oughta try making some Pattie’s on a cast iron
sure thing friend
Very informative...
Cool video
it took 15 min to cook that meat and out in the wild in survival you want to make sure you can it it all thanks everyone for the comments
Mike I have a question I live just north of Raleigh NC and I have plenty of squirrels here. I am only wondering are there any kind of parasites I should look for before fixing a squirrel for consumption.
look at the liver for discolor or anything thats not a dark red color. Don't forget to remove glands from the armpits. Goodluck!
I remember this one. Great video Mike.
THANKS Michael
Best video of squirrel meat cooking yet.
@@Bigtuna573 nice
Never would have thought to make squirrel jerky.. Your recipe sounds good.. Should work well with rabbit too.. The bone part would be good for travel..
Man wonderful video. I cannot believe the people who gave it a thumbs down. Im trying style next time Im out in the woods
Well, the Indians might have did it that way, but my daddy used to shoot two squirrels with one 22 shot, and then fry em up like fried chicken with fried taters and onions. To each their own I guess. Young grey squirrels are the best, as red ones are tough.
0zark Mountain man.
Your daddy? Is that the same guy that made you wear the gimp suit?
@@sess9561, You see, where I come from, people respect their parents and their elders. People here, even after becoming adults, parents, and grandparents, many still refer to their own parents as momma and daddy.
See, I'm 54. My daddy is passed away. My momma is still with us at 84. If you think it is somehow odd to talk about your momma and daddy the way I do, it only illustrates that you don't know jack shit about regional culture, and probably don't know jack shit about much at all.
Sterling Price I'm from Missouri and yep if ya clap your hands squirrels get scared and they huddle together and then you just come around and you can shoot them both with one shot
I've watched two guys cook squirrel in their house. In 1:52 minutes this is already a better video.
Yup. He was right. No more squirrel jerky for me. Squirrel loaf is better than rat kabobs any day of the week. Delicious.
If I'm at home, I prefer squirrels in sherry with mushrooms. However, in the back country, your way looks more practical.
I think I'm gonna have to try that
I typically make a dumpling or stew with them. About 5 to a lot of dumplings. (I'm talking American dumplings) it'll feed me for 4 or 5 days or my family for 2.

when is dinner? what about acorns, how do you prepare the acorns, rince ? lemon grass and mint maybe. thanks for sharing.
@@oliversopinion1950 thanks
That's hard core, I'll eat a squirrel in a second, but bones? That is a new one to me...God bless you brother...enjoy

Thanks!
@@dpete8995 good
hey, Mike, How do you sanitize your cutting stump for the next meal ?
Thanks! My favorite video so far. Never knew you could cook things without a pot or a stick or anything.
+LoganMartinsChannel I haven't cooked on a rock myself but I hear of dangers of hot rocks exploding, apparently you have to choose certain rocks. So I guess check that out.
Don't use porus rocks or rocks just out of water..

Great Job Mike! I'm a dumb city boy, how do you clean it?
Good! no waste!!!

Kinda Sad That The Squirrel Died But It Looks Useful And Cool!
I watched this video and tried to catch some squirrel... all my neighbors are looking at me funny now..
Awesome video, very much enjoyed it!
Baked squirrel is amazing. If I want to taste chicken I'll cook chicken. I want squirrel for the taste and experience of eating squirrel.
Looks pretty good, I wouldn't mind trying that.
Just a question of if you don't have a skillet or cutting board is this sanitary to do on an old mildewed stump???
Question for ya, Mike. Does the pulverized (chopped) squirrel cook up tender or is it still tough as squirrel that hasn't been par-boiled?
@@DavidKralikOutdoors a little tough
I used to love fried squirrel and squirrel and dumplings. They would be hard to beat.
@@mcconn746 you bet they are
@@mike451 ???
Never seen it cooked like that!!! Have to give it a try.
As your old name goes... Bland County Survivor Man. I live in Montgomery County Virginia. I would love to meet you and see what I can learn from you.
Thanks Mike , for showing us a different way to cook my all-time favorite small game . For years and years , I did it all wrong by frying up the quarters in a frying pan , shake and bake style , only to end up with great tasting shoe leather ( never knew shoe leather could taste so good !! (;-) ) . Then a few years back , things improved greatly when my wife suggested using a crock pot instead . Ever since then , Iv'e been keeping my eyes and ears open for other ways , and that's why I stopped by to check out this video . Man , I think I will be trying out your method here ; looks like a great way to get the job done ! Take care and happy hunting . ATB

Going to have to try me some squirrel one of these days.
I've eaten squirrel, showed my boy how to kill, clean and cook the tree rats, and damn, all I can say is beef is better! BY FAR! I can see why no one farms squirrels for the meat (or any other purpose). BUT....in a life or death situation, this knowledge is life, instead of death. Thanks bro!
