Son got 3 squirrels today

My son (13 yrs old) is finally getting the hang of hunting... grampa sent him into the woods on his own for his first time... he returned a short time later with 3 squirrels (that's all that's in season right now... grouse and rabbit start Oct 1). So, our family gets to have our first dinner provided by my son tomorrow night 🙂 (I can hear some of you saying ewwww already... squirrel is actually quite tasty; tastes somewhat like rabbit.) The best part of it is that my son can responsibly use a firearm. He's been shooting since he was 7 yrs old and can rival just about anyone in this forum for marksmanship and gun safety.
 
Good for him on three accounts. Bagging three squirrels, being able to handle a firearm responsibly and for keeping the squirrel population in check. 🙂

We usually saute it for quite a while in a wine sauce.. extremely tender... the meat just falls off the bones.
 
Should send him to new york. The rats there are nice and plump and taste like chicken I hear 😛
Rodents, the other white meat.
 
He used his 20 gauge.. It's usually a toss-up between that, the 410, and the .22
 
No, next week, we'll hunt rabbits together... I'm guessing your post was sarcasm though? Squirrels in the forest aren't stupid like squirrels in the city... 2 weeks of rabbit hunting, then possibly some time hunting for turkeys..... but Oct 15 bow hunting season opens.... I'll be in pursuit of a particular 400 pound plus black bear this year, which means my son isn't going to be with me, scaring it off. Plus he has to be 14 for bow hunting for bear and deer. And, we have a problem with some raccoons, coyotes, and/or foxes eating chickens... that problem will be addressed.

Why what are you gonna do if they did and why would they. Why do you call them chicken sh!t just because they catch and kill thier own food.

1. Why would we wander into someone's back yard?
2. What is a "nutless chicken sh!t hunter"??

Or are you just an anti-hunter type of person? I believe in fair pursuit... Any animal has a fair chance, and all shots are humanely taken... if a shot has a risk of only wounding an animal, it is not taken. And, compared to eating beef, chicken, etc., I know that any game animal I've shot has not been pumped full of chemicals, growth hormones, and antibiotics so it can go from birth to death to your dinner table in as little time as possible. AND, I can confidently eat the meat I get without any worries of E-Coli bacteria. Where does E-Coli bacteria come from? It comes from the processing plant getting sh!t on the meat that you eat.
