I have never dressed squirrels in the field.I have saw fellows who would squeeze a rabbit's stomach and hold it by the head and sling it's gut's out the other end,but this was just to lighten the weight of your game vest and give the dogs a treat.Squirrels are smaller and probably arent going to get hot enough to ruin or taint the meat before I get to hot and thirsty to head home anyhow!
