I hunt squirrels all the time with dogs. The best way I have found t cook them is the way my mother did. Cut the squirrels up and flour them. Fry them in a skillet and set aside. Once you're through frying take a pressure cooker and add the water. Line the cooker with aluminum foil and add fried squirrel in. Fold the foil over and cover with lid. Once the cooker starts pressurring up let it go for around 20 minutes. Cool it down and you have squirrel as tender as KFC original. UMMMMMM good....
