This is the easiest for me. As soon as I shoot a squirrel, I gut it either there or before I leave to go home. Then I just cut the head off, along with the hands, feet and tail. Then just cut a small 4 inch or so cut on the back. Then take my fingers and pry the skin away from the body. Takes about 3 minutes on either squirrel. The last thing I do is between the legs, I cut the squirrels rear off and other parts. I just make an upside down U..cut up the inside legs, then across the lower back bone. Takes care of the nasty area I dont think anyone wants cooking along with there meal..That's just me....Talk to you all later.....Squirrel Master
