A squirrel with a family heirloom

[Moon Tree]

AK, as always, we're looking forward to pictures and stories. The only thing I love more than writing stories is reading other folks stories.

Ohio, I was using CCI .22 mags.

Do you know off hand if any one loads a solid? I looked briefly at the usual sorces and didn't see anything ;isted.

Make smoke,

I haven't bought .22 mag bullets in years. The CCI's I was shooting was a mistake my wife made when I asked her to pick up some .22's. And my Grandfather had 5 or six boxes of shells that I got with the revolver.

I love fried squirrel. It's only second to elk as my favorite meat. If I were on death row and requesting my last meal, it would be fried squirrel, squirrel gravy, biscuits, over easy eggs and homefries.

A good hunting story can make a man hungry.

Well done, Moon Tree.

Reading all this has me feeling left out.
I would love eat some of what I call them large Eastern Squirrel
How big are these squirrel yall get? The biggest one I ever seen in Utah is still well under 1 pound.

Bible, gray squirrels here in KY will weigh about 2 lbs. live weight. Fox squirrel/red squirrels will weigh 3 lbs. I find one. While I could easily eat 4 or 5 gray squirrel at one setting, I find 1 squirrel, fried potatoes and green bean will make a good meal. OR, 1 gray squirrel, squirrel gravy, a couple of biscuits and a couple eggs will get any day started off on the right foot.

Jay, I remember having my mom's squirrel dumping a few times. She used the tougher fox squirrels. If I remember correctly, squirrel dumping are pretty darn good. I just suck at making dumpings. But, you got me wanting to google dumpings and try some with a tough old fox squirrel. Thanks for the post.

OK you guys, it's on my bucket list, ONE DAY, I will travel far, on 2, 3 or 4 wheels or train,,,,,I will come to the land of Jaybm, and Moon Tree in hopes of eating a squirrel.

I must add, as a traveler, I have been only one place with food choices worse than Utah.
