Fresh squirrels

[the Lackster]

My little girl wanted to go get some squirrels yesterday afternoon so off we went. Wind was blowing and they didn't want to cooperate but i managed 4. I wanted her to get to shoot but i had to trick shot every one of them.
Anyway i supervised her as she made us a big batch of biscuits this morning. We cooked them a little done because i like my biscuits almost crunchy if they are going in gravy. Tonight i boiled the squirrel, pulled it off the bone, and then fried it up. Made a gravy from the squirrel grease and then put the meat in to simmer for a little while. Poured over the crumbled up biscuits made for a mighty fine super on this messy cold afternoon. So proud of my little one and the life skills she is learning at this age.

"Best Posts of The Year" awards? There would obviously be multiple awards due to the widespread interests on Woody's. But as for the first nomination of 2020, in several potential categories, the OP would get a vote from me.

Great post and memories!

Thanks a lot guys. The kind words mean more than i can express. Somedays i stress and feel like I'm doing this parenting thing all wrong then a day like this comes along and reminds me that as long as i listen to the Lord and lead by example that i can't go wrong. So blessed to have wonderful God fearing wife to stand by my side in this journey as well.
Warms my heart watching her and mommy in the kitchen together making memories as well. Like i was telling a good friend last night i want her to be the swiss army knife of life skills as she gets older. I don't pray for her to be the best at anything but rather be good at a lot of things. Past two days we have been working in land navigation and recognizing deer sign and it has been a blast. I know she needs to be in school but it's not gonna be as fun without her next week after this break.

Smiled when I read this post. Many of us that grew up in the 60s when there were no deer in N GA cut our teeth chasing squirrels all winter long and eating just about like you posted up here. Brings back great memories! Good on you! A day your daughter will always cherish.

Man, it just doesn't get any better than that!

In today's society, you are doing great Dad!
