is there anything that can kill that taste? is there anything that can compete with the squirrel taste? i usually just boil them and feed them to the dogs. but i will try the bacon idea.

Cut the squirrel into quarters season the pieces with salt pepper , season all , garlic powder , and onion salt. Flour up the pieces nicely and in a heavy skillet heat up some oil, on a medium heat brown all the meat ,once all the meat is browned add enough water to almost cover the meat then reduce heat to a low simmer cover tightly and let simmer for 1 to 11/2 hours depending on how old the squirrels are (young tender ones you can almost pan fry )turn the meat over after about ¾ hour and check to see if more water is needed once your squirrel is tender remove it from the pan and add water to the pan to make some of the best gravy you have ever had. Easy delicious fall off the bone squirrel

Anyone have a recipe for squirrel & gravy? My cousin is always saying howhis friends mother would make them squirrel with gravy when he was younger and i was just looking for a recipe for him.

You have alot of replies but I have a great couple of recipees that I use.
Skin em and clean em. This recipee calls for three squirrels but you could expand it.
Take the cleaned carcasses and par boil in salted water for about 10-15 minutes. Rub the meat with fresh cracked black pepper, rosemary and garlic. Lay the in a dutch over whose body ismoderatley hot and the lid should be medium hot. Slice an onion and lay on top and around the meat. Then slice potatoes at no more than 1'4" thickness and lay them in there too. Drape a few slices of bacon over all. replace the lid of the dutch oven and pile coals on top. In about 30-45 minutes, the meat and potatoes are done
You need to check out a book by Horace Kephardt called "camping and woodscraft". I believe it is on tennesee press. He has alot of wild game recipees and also chapters on marksmanship, axemanship, cabin building, bivuoacs, and compass use.
