i was always taught to soak my squirrels overnight in water with salt after i dressed them out. Now im wondering if ive been doing this wrong, everything i read about proper meat and deer handling says to not soak meat in water, i was just curious as to what most of the squirrel eaters on here do?

I used to soak my rabbits and squirrels overnight in saltwater, until my uncle told me that the salt in saltwater --- does not help in drawing any blood out of bloodshot meat --- so now I just soak them in a pot of water overnight.
When you hang a deer carcass up to age it some --- try to keep the body cavity from being soaked with water --- but I would pat dry or drain the body cavity, if I had to drag a deer carcass across a clean stream.

Try equal amts of Coke and Ketchup in a crock pot. Season to taste[s]. I leave them on low all day, then pick the meat off the bones.
Throw the meat back in the crock pot on high this time, no lid, keep an eye on it, the water bubbles off. Can be used for rabbits the same way.
