You'd think they would learn by example. The G1 did the job quite nicely. My son got his wish and I skinned it and put it on the grill. Hmm....not bad at all. A little tougher than chicken, but very good. My son loved it! .177cal Crosman Pointed Pellets 7.9gr 15 yards Here it is on the grill. I thought this would make for a different picture than the normal "laying dead on the ground" shot. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 11:41 pm Bozo Veteran Member Joined: 29 Jun 2009 Posts: 107 Location: The remote parts of El Dorado County, CA Makes my mouth water!

Must have been a young one. Yeah, younger than I would have wanted for grilling, but my son really wanted to try one and this little one was next in line. Do they get more tender the older they are? Or tougher yet? _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Wed May 18, 2011 12:16 pm Bozo Veteran Member Joined: 29 Jun 2009 Posts: 107 Location: The remote parts of El Dorado County, CA Tougher.

Looks Tasty.If you want a really tender dish in the future,soak your squirrel pieces in a brine solution for a few hours,boil until the meat starts to fall off the bone...then grill... Funny thing is I'm the only person in my family that will eat squirrel.My wife in particular won't even come near them... Limb chicken....it's what's for dinner.... _________________ Re: And yet another squirrel - pics of it on the grill :)   Posted: Sun May 29, 2011 1:16 pm Crosman140 Senior Member Joined: 13 Dec 2008 Posts: 663 Location: USA Mark5043 wrote: Looks Tasty.If you want a really tender dish in the future,soak your squirrel pieces in a brine solution for a few hours,boil until the meat starts to fall off the bone...then grill...

I don't necessarily agree with that. Try this: Soak your squirrel in water with a teaspoon to a tablespoon of salt, seasoned or not, for 4-6 days. Heat up some oil in a pan and when it's good and hot throw your quarters on and sear both sides really well. When both sides are seared, put a little less than 1/4" of water in the pan and bring down the heat a bit, covering the pan. Flip the quarters after about 7 minutes and add water if necessary, cover and let simmer for another 7 minutes. If they're not fully cooked repeat as necessary but you should be able to whip up a meal in about a half hour And yet another squirrel - pics of it on the grill :)     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Hunting, Pest Control, Varminting You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
