To much time in my tree stand last year. I intend to chase Grouse, pheasants and rabbits in October.

I also have an open invitation to chase hares in the northern Adirondacks. I hope I can make it happen this year after deer season.

Take your snowshoes.

I had cousins in Malone, got there going through Camp Drum.
I hunt with a guy who hunts rabbits with a 10/22.
The Moose tracking articles show a concentration of them in the north east part of the park.

I use a 20 gauge .

When still in school, used to do a lot of bunny hunting, but I’ll be darned if I can remember how my mom fixed them. Squirrels are very good eating. I quarter them, boil for about 30 minutes, then dip in flour and brown them in frying pan. Only thing I hate is the skinning. Skinned when they are still warm is much easier than later, but still a job, but then maybe I am not doing it correctly ! Give them a try, delicious !!

I cut my "hunting teeth" shooting "tree rats". I've eaten a ton (more or less! LOL!) of them.
Fried, stewed, with dumplings and even grilled.
I don't hunt them anymore. I've just lost my taste for them. In a "hunger" situation, I would not hesitate to resume eating squirrel.

Bhr, cut them up as you wish.
Dredge in flour and fry until lightly browned.
Remove the squirrel and set aside.
Make gravy with the drippings.

I use those little disposable "loaf pans" you find at WalMart and other discount stores but any small, covered, oven safe dish will work.

Dice up some onion, a potato and a clove of garlic and place in the bottom of the pan.
Place the browned squirrel on top of the veggies and cover with the gravy. If you don't have enough gravy, add milk until the squirrel is submerged.
...and of course, salt and pepper to taste.

Cover tightly with foil (or lid), place in the oven at 250°F for one hour.
The squirrel will be chicken tender. Spread the gravy, potato and onion over hot buttered biscuits!
Yummm......!!!
