Feeling like a kid again

[Josh B]

I was too lazy to get up and go deer hunting so I figured what the heck and grabbed my old Benjamin Sheridan. I don't normally hunt squirrel but I had fun. I did the fun part and the nasty part. Now I'm soaking them in ice water before I pressure cook them. I plan on squirrel and dumplings. Never done it before.

And I've had the pellet gun for over 30 years.
Not bad

Great hunt man ! It does make a fellow feel like a young un again. If you ain’t never had squirrel dumplings before.....prepare yourself for a taste buds overload. Some guys have even said they thought about going back and slapping their momma for depriving them all these years . All bull aside you had a fine hunt and are in for a treat.


Their good in spaghetti, tacos, pizza, gulosh and a bunch more. Squirrel pot pie is another good one.

I’ve still got my silver streak in .20 cal. The pump is worn out but there’s not enough $ in the world to buy it. Saved all my money when I was 8 to buy it.

My Granny used to cook some fine squirrel dumplings.

Yeah mines a 20 caliber. I looked for rebuild kits online but didn't see anything.

Squirrel stew cooked in the insta pot. Took about 15 minutes. I think I could feed it to people and not tell them what it was and they would never know.

 

[Hillbilly stalker]

If you get you a couple young, first year squirrels (fryers), put them in that insta pot then roll them in pancake batter and fry them. Good stuff ! That stew looks top shelf bud !

I usually take two or three pellet gun squirrel hunts a season. Fun stuff for sure. I would like to have a PCP, but funds aren’t there yet.

I`ve neve had squirrel cooked any way that wasn`t good, but I do dearly love them fried, gravy made from the drippings, and grits and biscuits to go with them.

I bought a rebuild kit off eBay several years back. The instructions were terrible. I tried it anyway and it won’t hold but 2 pumps. I think you have to have a special tool if I remember right. Then I found a man in N or S Carolina that rebuilds them. He sounded pretty old when I talked to him. I never sent it to him though. If I can find his # I’ll send it to you

 

[Hunter/Mason]

I had it stored in my phone.

I have a Crossman .22 pump up air rifle that I got when I was around 11. That was close to 60 yrs ago. It has taken a lot of squirrels, and a number of rabbits. I would love to get it working again. It pumps, but won't hold air. Does anyone know where I could get this fixed?

 

[Josh B]

Try calling the number a few post up

Or send it back to Crossman.
