Default Squirrel Pot Pie

Hi All!

Daughter: "Dad! Do you think we could make squirrel-pot-pie?"

Dad: "Ummm....well....oh hell yes lets try! I'll go grab your gun, you get the dog."

And with that my daughter's quest for her own hunting and cooking show continues. We've been hunting on a large tract of private land and my daughter's noticed that we've been having to hunt harder and further to fill the game bag - she's understanding that her hunting influence is having an effect. So based on obvious territorial markers such as massive maddens and signs of high squirrel activity, we've been watching and have identified 6 squirrels (5 females and one male so far as I can tell...I never thought I'd be studying squirrels private areas through the spotting scope!) that get the free pass.

Hunting the rest of the property we've been having to work pretty hard, so this is likely her last squirrel episode until next fall/winter so the little suckers can, in her words, "re-populate" a bit.

Youtube - Squirrel Pot Pie

Her next video - "step-by-step practice with your shotgun!"

Thanks so much for watching, she and I both get a big kick out of reading all your comments together.

Cheers,

Brobee

Well done! My 3 girls loved it as usual. What load is she running in that 870? Got a guy trying to sell me a 20 ga for the kids.

Great effort on the video and the recipe. Now I crave squirrel pot pie. Should send the video to the Food Network.

I can't wait for your upcoming video with the recipe for garlic skunk jowls with gopher gravy. Mmmm (just in fun.)

Well done to your daughter, that looks delicious, that looks far better than the only way I've had squirrel (cooked over a fire like a hot dog)

Well done young lady!
Good job Dad!!!
Squirrel is about the only thing my 19 yr old daughter will hunt. She did shoot a couple snowshoe rabbits this year.
I sent her your video link.

I grew up in So. Ontario and in my high school days shot grey and black squirrels with my Cooey 12 ga. Mom would boil the meat off the bones and make squirrel sandwiches which I took to school for lunch - nice tasty dark meat with some mayo, salt and pepper. I got a bit of a reputation .....LOL
