Squirrel season offers fast action, tasty meals

Squirrel hunting is one of the most popular forms of small game hunting in Louisiana. It can offer some fast action, and that’s a great way to keep young hunters involved. It’s also a great way to put some food on the table. But cooking them is a bit of an art form, and a lost one at that. Most people — even avid outdoorsmen and women — have never cooked a bushytail.

Thankfully, the Backwoods Gourmet chef is here to show us a great way to clean one of these critters, then cook it up into a tasty meal.

Squirrel hunting season ends on Feb. 29. The spring squirrel season runs May 2-24.
