http://www.woodlands.co.uk/ Our 100th film! Before skinning and cooking it, Sean Collins describes the destructive nature of the grey squirrel and its effect on the native red squirrel. He also describes their effect on tree bark. In the next film he goes about skinning the squirrel

Gut the squirrel dont skin it, burn its hide and scrap the fur off, the skin offers a different flavor and more fat along with it, I mean what if they skinned pigs before they made bacon!? Another nice way to clean the hide is to boil water until its hot and dip the squirrel in once the waters hot enough, pluck it like a chicken. I always find the front two legs fur to always be the hardest to get off but yea you can burn the rest of the hair off afterwards….The head is edible too if you have the stomach for it…….The hide offers more protein
That is Nastie
u do it like it was a fish u git it chop off it tell n head then skin it well at least it's the way I do it
since squirrels eat nuts is it a bad idea to eat squirrel because i have a severe nut allergy?
Ethics about eating squirrels? If people are happy to eat cows, pigs, sheep and other stuff then I see no reason that we have to justify eating grey squirrels.
Personally I'm for culling grey squirrels completely in order to repopulate the native grey squirrel. The greys do such incredible damage to our woodland, and also agriculture that I think it's about time we got over this idea of keeping the greys around because they are cute.
I don't think so since it's body would break down the nuts into proteins, carbs ect. I think you should be fine after its all cleaned and cooked. Im no expert but i think you will be fine.
Glad you explain that. Some people are like why "murder" them little guys why not go buy beef thats what stores are for. I do eat that but i know my kills while hunting live a way better happier life than the cattle. I was blessed enough to get a head shot on a grey squirrel here in the USA. That dude went from walking on a log 8ish yrds away to dead INSTANTLY i mean i was happy for me and the squirrel. No real hunter gets pride in injuring an animal before it dies. Any way i was able to eat that squirrel and preserve it's hide. Only gutts and bones waisted. Thanks for the video and telling it like it is.
ive been eating rabbits for years but now i do prefer thease tasty little fellers
im almost completely vegetarian and i say kill the squirrels and eat them.i stopped eating meat because of how nasty the shit at the store is.wild caught meat,ahh now that is dif story and i will gladly eat meat if it is in this form.not all vegetarians are the shit bags people think they are.i have no problem killing something furry and cute for dinner but i have a huge problem with eating some nasty old rotten ass nitrate pumped meat from the supermarket and everyone else should too.
also didnt know ur suppose to peel bananas away from the middle like that
