How many squirrels does it take
Scott Rivers, Been hunting the West for over 25 years.
Depends on how hungry you are and how you prepare them. You’re only going to get about 4–6 oz. of meat from a squirrel (depending on species). So if you’re just eating roast squirrel in a stick over a camp fire, you might need 2–3. Make a stew or a baked casserole and 4 will feed 4 people. Here’s 2 recipes:
1. Baked Squirrel
4 cut up squirrels (use only hind legs and meaty back pieces)
1 chopped green bell pepper
2 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp. red wine
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 c. vinegar
1 chopped onion
4 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. Adolph's tenderizer
1 tsp. pepper
1 to 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Crisco or cooking oil
Mix vinegar and salt with water to cover squirrel. Soak 2 hours in solution. Remove pieces and shake on tenderizer and pepper. Roll in flour. Fry in Crisco until golden brown. Place pieces in baking dish.
In another skillet saute onion and pepper in butter. Add wine and soup. Mix well. Pour over squirrel. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

2. Country-Style squirrel
2 squirrels
Salt & pepper to taste
Flour
6 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 c. water
Cut squirrel into small chunks of frying size pieces, salt and pepper then roll in flour until coated well. Put in skillet of hot oil and fry until golden. Remove squirrel and most the oil, then add water and bring to boil. Place squirrel back into the skillet, turn to low heat, cover and cook for approximately 1 hour.
Serve with some large potatoes that have been baked for a great combination.
