Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
I grew up hunting small game including squirrel but got away from it when I started deer hunting about 18 years ago. I shot one last year with a .22 but picked up the shotgun and went out a couple weeks ago. I bagged 4. I remembered seeing this post so I watched the videos before cleaning the squirrels. I must say, this method is great. I made quick work of the squirrels and now have them in the freezer.
I've never seen it done in video...that was cool. I liked the Game Warden. We have skinned tree rats and rabbits like that for years. I agree with hosing down too. It is the most efficient way to do it.

First heard of this method back in the late 50's,and the first time I tried it I must have cut too deep under the tail and when I stepped on the legs and pulled - the tail came off - so I figured it didn't work and never tried it again till now. The wetting is also a great idea - so simple - why didn't I think of that.
Thanks for the tip!
