Tendering Up Squirrels

[Mossy0ak270]

I love to squirrel hunt and love to eat squirrels, but how in the world do I make them tender?? Their good eatin, just a lil tough. I've boiled them but this just seems to make em stringy. Maybe I'm doin somethin wrong? :confused: Can someone help me on this? Thanks.

We Put Them In The Pressure Cooker For A Short Time Then Cook / Fry As You Want Them. It Ususally Makes Them Mouth Watering Tender. Also The Older A Squirrel The More Tough. So Look Hard And Take The Younger Ones.
Yeah It Takes Time And A Little Culling But It Can Be Done.

Soak them overnight in beer. You can soak them in pineapple juice and make it real tender, but then it taste like teryaki.
